Buhid is a Brahmic script of the Philippines, closely related to Baybayin and Hanunó'o, and is used today by the Mangyans to write their language, Buhid.
Structure
Consonants have an inherent /a/ vowel. The other two vowels are indicated by a diacritic above (for /i/) or below (for /u/) the consonant. Depending on the consonant, ligatures are formed, changing the shape of the consonant-vowel combination.[1] Vowels at the beginning of syllables are represented by their own, independent characters. Syllables ending in a consonant are written without the final consonant.[2]

Note: With the proper rendering support, the Buhid syllable ki above (ᝃᝒ) should resemble a plus sign (+).
Buhid writing makes use of single (᜵) and double (᜶) punctuation marks.[1]
