The ISO 15924 is an international standard that defines the codes that uniquely represent the names of scripts or writing systems. It includes more than 210 unique scripts, each of which can be designated either by a 4-letter code or a 3-digit numeric code. Notably, in the field of software localization, 4-letter codes are predominantly used to denote different scripts.
The adoption of these script codes significantly enhances software localization processes by providing unique identifiers for language scripts, thereby preventing potential errors and streamlining localization tasks. Also, since its inception, this standard has undergone several revisions and is still maintained.

Are the ISO 15924 codes case sensitive?
The ISO 15924 script codes should be considered case-insensitive. However, they are most commonly used in a capitalized form, with the first letter being uppercase followed by three lowercase letters.
Can a language be written using multiple scripts?
Yes. But this phenomenon is relatively rare. In most cases, it is related to various cultural, political, and historical influences in language development. For example, the Serbian language utilizes both the Cyrillic and Latin scripts. Another instance is the Chinese language, which can be written in Traditional and Simplified scripts.
