The Phoenician Unicode block unifies various paleographic scripts of the Phoenician alphabet and its successors dating from the 12th century BCE to the 2nd century BCE. These related scripts were used in areas surrounding the Mediterranean Sea: Paleo-Hebrew, Archaic Phoenician, Phoenician, Early Aramaic, Late Phoenician cursive, Phoenician papyrus, Siloam Hebrew, Hebrew seals, Ammonite, Moabite, and Punic. Language/alphabet-specific fonts must be used in order to get the right alphabet.
Writing direction is right-to-left for words as well as numbers.
