Gurmukhi. Gurmukhi is a Unicode block containing characters for the Punjabi language, in the Gurmukhi script.In its original incarnation, the code points U+0A02..U+0A4C were a direct copy of the Gurmukhi characters A2-EC from the 1988 ISCII standard.
This was added to Gurmukhi officially relatively recently, and is not universal, but does have a precedent for use in older Punjabi texts. It was added to Unicode in 2020 (in version 13).
