Getting Started
Exactly a year ago, I wrote an Android application that converts text to the Turkic alphabet (Turkic Bitig), Now I want to show in public how I wrote it and I think that the post will be a good guide for other programmers who wanted to work with the old Turkic alphabet...

TURKIC BITIG

Turkic Bitig app is just an android appication for promoting to learning TURKIC BITIG (the Orkhon alphabet or Old Turkic script, the Göktürk script, or the Orkhon-Yenisey script, known as Yenisei or Siberian runes, runic alphabet) and writing with it, save it as text and photo..


Turckic Bitig script or The Orkhon script was used for writing Turkic languages in Mongolia and Siberia from the 8th to the 13th centuries. The earliest examples of writing in any Turkic language were found on the banks of the Orkhon river, hence the name of this script. Following this discovery, other examples were found, written in variant forms of the script. For this reason, the term 'Orkhon' is sometimes used in a collective sense to refer to the Old Turkic scripts as a whole, and the other styles considered variant forms of it. The Orkhon style of Old Turkic is sometimes grouped with the Yenisei style and the pair referred to as Orkhon-Yenisei. The Orkhon style is the most widely-known form of Old Turkic writing.

In The Unicode Standard, Old Turkic script implementation is discussed in Chapter 14 South and Central Asia-III: Ancient Scripts.

The Old Turkic script was encoded in The Unicode Standard version 5.2. The script is encoded between 10C00-10C4F block. This character block contains the letters needed for writing in both the Orkhon and the Yenisei styles; where the letter forms vary between the two styles, each is encoded separately.
