The Manchu alphabet, being adapted from Mongolian script, is (was) normally written vertically; but here and there (e.g. Wanderwort) I see it horizontal. Oddly it goes left to right, and is thus upside-down compared to its Syriac ancestor!
But my question is: how was the orientation chosen? Does Unicode have separate blocks for vertical and horizontal Manchu? —Tamfang (talk) 04:51, 8 May 2023 (UTC)
