    {
      "q": "What is the Marchen script and what was it used for?",
      "a": "The Marchen script (smar-chen, 'great Mar script') is an ancient Brahmic abugida originating in the Kingdom of Zhang-Zhung in western Tibet. It was historically used to record the extinct Zhang-Zhung language and remains in sacred use within the Bön religious tradition for preserving liturgical scriptures, prayers, and astrological charts."
    },
    {
      "q": "How is Marchen related to the classical Tibetan Uchen script?",
      "a": "Both scripts share a 30-consonant phonetic inventory, identical vowel diacritics (i, u, e, o), and vertical subjoining mechanics. Traditional Bön histories suggest that 7th-century minister Thonmi Sambhota adapted the Tibetan script from Marchen, while modern linguists view both as sister scripts derived from northern Indian Gupta/Brahmi prototypes."
    },
    {
      "q": "How do subjoined consonants work in Marchen typography?",
      "a": "In Marchen orthography, when multiple consonants occur before a vowel (such as kra or sba), the non-initial consonants are stacked vertically below the head letter. The Unicode standard encodes these as dedicated subjoined characters (U+11C92–U+11CAF), ensuring proper visual stacking in digital text editors."
    },
    {
      "q": "Why do some devices display rectangle boxes (tofu) for Marchen characters?",
      "a": "Marchen resides in Plane 1 of the Unicode standard (U+11C70–U+11CBF), which requires an operating system font with specialized Central Asian historical script coverage, such as Google Noto Sans Marchen or BabelStone Marchen. Installing these free Unicode fonts resolves missing characters."
    },
    {
      "q": "Does copying Marchen characters upload text to external servers?",
      "a": "The copy button asks your browser to place the selected character on the clipboard. Browser permissions and support can vary. Site-wide analytics and data handling are described in the site’s privacy information."
