The Armenian alphabet ( Armenian: Հայոց գրեր, Hayocʼ grer or Հայոց այբուբեն, Hayocʼ aybuben) or, more broadly, the Armenian script, is an alphabetic writing system developed for Armenian and occasionally used to write other languages. It was developed around AD 405 by Mesrop Mashtots, an Armenian linguist and ...
ISO 9985 (1996) is the international standard for transliteration of the modern Armenian alphabet. Like with the BGN/PCGN romanization, the apostrophe is used to denote most of the aspirates. This system is reversible because it avoids the use of digraphs and returns to the Hübschmann-Meillet (however some diacritics for vowels are also modified).
Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Armenian letters. Armenian is a Unicode block containing characters for writing the Armenian language, both the classical and reformed orthographies. Five Armenian ligatures are encoded in the Alphabetic Presentation Forms block.

It is the native language of the Armenian people and the official language of Armenia. Historically spoken in the Armenian highlands, today Armenian is also ...
For comparison, this is the Unicode code points charts for Armenian. Its encoding since Unicode 1.1 (except the Armenian hyphen U+058A, the last character added since Unicode 3.0) was based on the previous ISO 10585 7-bit international encoding standard, rather than on ArmsCII that was missing a dozen of characters present in ISO 10585.
The Armenian alphabet was devised in 405 in the cities of Edessa and Samsat by the scholar-monk Mesrop Mashtots. [4] As is the case with other writing systems worldwide, the graphic layout of Armenian letters has undergone some changes in over 1600 years. [5] The four principal graphic forms [6] [7] [8] of Armenian writing during the Middle ...
In the following table is the Classical Armenian consonantal system. The stops and affricate consonants have, in addition to the more common voiced and unvoiced series, also a separate aspirated series, transcribed with the notation used for Ancient Greek rough breathing after the letter: p῾, t῾, c῾, č῾, k῾.
Armenian numerals form a historic numeral system created using the majuscules (uppercase letters) of the Armenian alphabet. [1] There was no notation for zero in the old system, and the numeric values for individual letters were added together. [2] The principles behind this system are the same as for the ancient Greek numerals and Hebrew numerals.
