Unicode block Phoenician

The Unicode block Phoenician (Phoenician, U + 10900 to U + 1091F) contains the characters of the Phoenician script , a left-handed used in ancient times in Lebanon, Palestine and Syria consonant font .

The coding of this block has long been debated. Many members of the Unicode consortium believed that Phoenician could be standardized with Hebrew without any problems. Ultimately, the opinion prevailed that Phoenician is its own script, and so this block was added.
