In [[Unicode]], a '''script''' is a collection of letters and other written signs used to represent textual information in one or more writing systems.<ref>[http://unicode.org/glossary/ Glossary of Unicode Terms]</ref> Some scripts support one and only one writing system and language, for example, [[Armenian language|Armenian]]. Other scripts support many different writing systems; for example, the [[Latin script in Unicode|Latin script]] supports [[English alphabet|English]], [[French alphabet|French]], [[German alphabet|German]], [[Italian alphabet|Italian]], [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]], [[Latin alphabet|Latin]] itself, and several other languages. Some languages make use of multiple alternate writing systems, thus also use several scripts. In [[Turkish language|Turkish]], the [[Ottoman Turkish alphabet|Arabic]] script was used before the 20th century, but transitioned to Latin in the early part of the 20th century. For a list of languages supported by each script see the [[list of languages by writing system]]. More or less complementary to scripts are [[Unicode symbols|symbols]] and Unicode control characters.
