About:
Noto Sans Sogdian is a Unicode-compliant font designed to support the Sogdian script, an extinct writing system used historically by Sogdian merchants along the Silk Road. This font ensures accurate rendering of ancient texts and inscriptions for scholars and linguists. It is part of the Google Noto font family, which aims to eliminate 'tofu' (empty boxes) for all Unicode characters.
Key Features:
  • Full support for the Sogdian Unicode block (U+10F00–U+10F2F)
  • Harmonizes visually with other Noto Sans fonts
  • OpenSource and freely licensed
  • Optimized for digital readability
Use Cases:
  • Academic research and digital preservation of Sogdian texts
  • Displaying Sogdian characters in web browsers and documents
Alternatives:
  • Noto Sans Symbols – Includes some Sogdian characters but lacks the specific stylistic tuning of the dedicated Sogdian font.
