Hanunoo

• Verify font support for Hanunoo glyphs in your UI and provide graceful fallbacks.
• Use NFC normalization consistently to ensure consistent storage and rendering.
• Explain characters with accessible labels and include aria-labels for screen readers.
• Prefer semantic prose or transcripts for content that uses Hanunoo, not only glyphs.
• Test rendering across platforms and fonts, and document any known rendering quirks.

The Hanunoo block encodes a native Philippine script used for the Hanunoo language. It belongs to a family of scripts developed for shallowly combining consonants with diacritics to indicate vowels. In digital text, users often need guidance on font support and rendering choices to preserve the intended appearance.

Typical usage includes educational materials, cultural content, and archival texts. Be mindful of how diacritics attach to base glyphs and how line height and spacing affect readability. Historically, Hanunoo was written on natural media such as leaves and bark, with scripts evolving to capture spoken forms in a compact, legible way. When digitizing, keep context and metadata clear so researchers and learners can access accurate representations and meaningful descriptions.
