{{main|Writing system}}
'''Writing system''' is sometimes treated as a synonymn for script. However it also can be used as the specific concrete writing ssystem supported by a script. For example the Vietnamese writing system is supported by the Latin script. Most writing systems can be broadly divided into three categories: '''logographic''', '''syllabic''' and '''alphabetic''' (or '''segmental'''); however, all three may be found in any given writing system in varying proportions, often making it difficult to categorise a system uniquely. The term '''complex system''' is sometimes used to describe those where the admixture makes classification problematic. Unicode supports all of these types of writing systems throug its scripts.
