Script created in the 1980s by Rohingya scholar Hanifi Yusuf to overcome the limitations of Arabic-based writing — designed to perfectly represent Rohingya's unique phonemes. After ~700,000 Rohingya became refugees following the 2017 Myanmar military genocide, teaching this script in Bangladesh's Kutupalong refugee camp (the world's largest) became central to maintaining cultural identity. Added to Unicode in 2021.
