Unicode supports all of these types of writing systems through its numerous scripts. Unicode also adds further properties to characters to help differentiate the various characters and the ways they behave within Unicode text processing algorithms.

In addition to explicit or specific script properties Unicode uses three special values:<ref name=Unicode_script_property>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr24/|title=UAX #24: Unicode Script Property|website=www.unicode.org}}</ref>

;Common: Unicode can assign a character in the [[Universal Character Set|UCS]] to a single script only. However, many characters — those that are not part of a formal natural language writing system or are unified across many writing systems may be used in more than one script. For example, currency signs, symbols, numerals and punctuation marks. In these cases Unicode defines them as belonging to the "common" script ([[ISO 15924]] code "Zyyy").
