<p>The modern form of this script was developed by Karna Jentich in 1942, to write the Kiranti-Kõits (Sunuwar/Mukhia) language, That language is spoken by around 40,000 people in Nepal and Sikkim (India)<tt>@Ethnologue,https://www.ethnologue.com/language/suz/</tt>, however the speakers usually write in Nepali using the Devanagari script. It is hoped that the inclusion of Sunuwar in the Unicode Standard, and help from UNESCO may begin to change that.</p>

<p>Since 1996 Kiranti-Kõits has been one of the official languages of Sikkim, where it is known as Mukhia. The script has been used in newspapers, government records, and other publications. In 2021 the Sikkim government mandated that state-run schools should offer instruction in both the primary language of the state and in a local language, which is likely to include Sunuwar.<tt>a</tt></p>

<p>Originally, nasalisation was indicated by the letter <span class="ch">𑯍</span>, but that could be ambiguous in some situations. A first attempt to improve on that recommended the use of the combining mark <span class="hx img">0310</span> (called <span class="name">taslathenk</span>), rendered as a flat line with a dot above. That diacritic is still used in the Sikkim Herald.</p>
