ISO 15924 script code: Glag

The Glagolitic script, also known as Glagolitsa, is the oldest known Slavic alphabet, created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius, Byzantine brothers known for their missionary work. This script was initially used in the Moravian Empire and was primarily utilized for Old Church Slavonic language, significantly impacting the cultural and literacy development of the Slavic peoples. The Glagolitic script finds minimal modern use, mainly in scholarly and liturgical contexts, but Unicode does support it, enabling representation in digital formats.
