The Brahmi script and its descendants |
The Kawi script (Indonesian: aksara kawi, aksara carakan kuna), or Old Javanese script, is a Brahmic script found primarily in Java and used across much of Maritime Southeast Asia between the 8th century and the 16th century.[1] The script is an abugida, meaning that characters are read with an inherent vowel. Diacritics are used, either to suppress the vowel and represent a pure consonant, or to represent other vowels.[2][3]
