The Yezidi script is a script that was used to write in Kurdish language, specifically in the Kurmanji dialect (also called Northern Kurdish). The script was found in historical manuscripts Meṣḥefa Reş and Kitêba Cilwe. In 2013, the Spiritual Council of Yezidis in Georgia decided to revive the Yezidi script.[1][2] Yezidi is written from right to left. The modern version of Yezidi is an alphabet and does not use ligatures.[1]

The Yezidi script was added to Unicode version 13.0 in March 2020. 47 characters are located in the Yezidi block:
