| The Ethiopic script is used for writing many of the languages of |
| Ethiopia and Eritrea. Ethiopic (U+1200..U+137F) was added to |
| Unicode 3.0. Ethiopic Supplement (U+1380..U+139F) and Ethiopic |
| Extended (U+2D80..U+2DDF) were added to Unicode 4.1. Abyssinica |
| SIL supports all Ethiopic characters which are in Unicode |
| including the Unicode 4.1 extensions. Some languages of Ethiopia |
| are not yet able to be fully represented in Unicode and, where |
| necessary, we have included non-Unicode characters in the Private |
| Use Area (see Private-use (PUA) characters supported by Abyssinica |
| SIL). |
| |
| Abyssinica SIL is based on Ethiopic calligraphic traditions. This |
| release is a regular typeface, with no bold or italic version |
| available or planned. |
