ISO 15924 script code: Kawi

The Kawi script, originating from Java and Bali, Indonesia, is an ancient Brahmic script used to pen classical Javanese and Balinese literature. Primarily employed by the Old Javanese culture, it influenced several Southeast Asian scripts. While its use has waned, modern computer systems support Kawi through specialized Unicode blocks. The script's exact origin and author remain uncertain, but it is deeply rooted in Southeast Asian history.
