Ethiopic script, also known as Ge’ez script, originates from Ethiopia and Eritrea and serves as a writing system for several languages like Amharic and Tigrinya. The script employs a distinct syllabary, where symbols represent combinations of consonants and vowels. Most modern operating systems and computing devices support Ethiopic script through Unicode, enabling its digital representation. The script’s creation is attributed to an evolution from the Epigraphic South Arabian script, although specific authorship remains unknown.
