The Armenian script is used primarily to write the Armenian language. The script is written left-to-right and generally does not use diacritics. It does have uppercase/lowercase pairs.
In modern Armenian typography, the small marks in the group called Armenian modifier letters are places above and to the right of other letters so that they occupy a letter position of their own. There appears to be no recorded usage of U+0559 ՙ Armenian modifier letter left half ring in Armenian text; its presence in this block is thus probably spurious.

96 code points from U+0530 to U+058F, of which
86 are currently assigned.
