Before diving into the technical process, it's essential to understand what makes Jawi so important. Tulisan Jawi is more than just a script; it is a cornerstone of Malay identity and a window into a golden age of Malay civilization. The script has existed since around 1300 AD, with the discovery of the Terengganu Inscription Stone serving as a key historical proof. It evolved from the Arabic alphabet, to which six additional letters were added—ca (چ), pa (ڤ), ga (ݢ), nga (ڠ), va (ۏ), and nya (ڽ)—to accurately represent the sounds of spoken Malay.
