Baybayin/Alibata – the Lost Writing Script of the Philippines
For my “111st Philippine Independence from Spain and Colonialism” post, I decided to unearthed the forgotten Filipino writing script our forefathers called as Baybayin.
The Modern Filipino Alphabet
Today, we are using The Modern Filipino Alphabet or Ang Bagong Alpabetong Filipino. We have 28 characters in total, these are: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg, Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk, Ll, Mm, Nn, Ññ, N͠g n͠g, Oo, Pp, Qq, Rr, Ss, Tt, Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx, Yy, Zz.
The 16th letter ‘Ng’ is pronunced as endzi (/ŋ/) in itself or as in ping-pong or wing when already used in a word. Also if you noticed, I wrote the letter endzi with a tilde above it. This was the original way of writing endzi.

Last night (my local time – Asean Common Time) I searched if there are fonts that were updated to include the Peso currency sign which is located at Unicode point 20B1.

My search turned-out positive, there’s not just one but countless of fonts already updated with the Peso sign included.
