Bhaiksuki is an extinct script used for writing Buddhist texts in the Indian state of Bihar. It is also known as the Arrow-Headed script due to the shape of the letters, many of which are capped with one or more triangular “arrows”. Little is known about this script, but the Arrow-Headed Script Project at Philipps-Universität Marburg, Germany is working to change that.
