Abstract: The article sets out to establish clear standards for the transliteration, transcription, and Unicode-based encoding of the Old Uyghur script in digital editions. It underscores the importance of Unicode in faithfully representing the unique features of Old Uyghur characters, ensuring consistency across platforms and long-term digital accessibility.
