</p><p>Javanese script is an <a href="Abugida" title="Abugida">abugida</a> writing system which consists of 20 to 33 basic letters, depending on the language being written. Like other <a href="Brahmic_scripts" title="Brahmic scripts">Brahmic scripts</a>, each letter (called an <i>aksara</i>) represents a syllable with the <a href="Inherent_vowel" title="Inherent vowel">inherent vowel</a> /a/ or /ɔ/ which can be changed with the placement of <a href="Diacritic" title="Diacritic">diacritics</a> around the letter. Each letter has a conjunct form called <i>pasangan</i>, which nullifies the inherent vowel of the previous letter. Traditionally, the script is written without spaces between words (<i><a href="Scriptio_continua" title="Scriptio continua">scriptio continua</a></i>) but is interspersed with a group of decorative <a href="Punctuation" title="Punctuation">punctuation</a>.

<p>Javanese script's evolutionary history can be traced fairly well because significant amounts of inscriptional evidence left behind allowed for <a href="Epigraphy" title="Epigraphy">epigraphical</a> studies to be carried out. The oldest root of Javanese script is the <a href="Tamil-Brahmi" title="Tamil-Brahmi">Tamil-Brahmi</a> script which evolved into the <a href="Pallava_script" title="Pallava script">Pallava script</a> in Southern and Southeast Asia between the 6th and 8th centuries. The Pallava script, in turn, evolved into Kawi script, which was actively used throughout Indonesia's Hindu-Buddhist period between the 8th and 15th centuries. In various parts of Indonesia, Kawi script would then evolve into Indonesia's various traditional scripts, one of them being Javanese script.<sup id="cite_ref-holle_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-holle-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The modern Javanese script seen today evolved from Kawi script between the 14th and 15th centuries, a period in which Java began to receive significant Islamic influence.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-lang_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-lang-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996161–162_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996161–162-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>From the 15th until the mid-20th centuries, Javanese script was actively used by the Javanese people for writing day-to-day and literary texts spanning a wide range of themes. Javanese script was used throughout the island at a time when there was no easy means of communication between remote areas and no impulse towards standardization. As a result, there is a huge variety of historical and local styles of Javanese writing throughout the ages. The great differences between regional styles make the "Javanese script" appear like a family of scripts.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996162_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996162-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Javanese writing traditions were especially cultivated in the <a href="Kraton_(Indonesia)" title="Kraton (Indonesia)">Kraton</a> environment in Javanese cultural centers, such as <a href="Yogyakarta" title="Yogyakarta">Yogyakarta</a> and <a href="Surakarta" title="Surakarta">Surakarta</a>.

<p>Javanese script has been written with numerous media that have shifted over time. Kawi script, which is ancestral to Javanese script, is often found on stone inscriptions and copper plates. Everyday writing in Kawi was done in <a href="Palm_leaf_manuscript" class="mw-redirect" title="Palm leaf manuscript">palm leaf form</a> (ocally known as <i>lontar</i>), which are processed leaves of the tal palm (<i><a href="Borassus_flabellifer" title="Borassus flabellifer">Borassus flabellifer</a></i>). Each <i>lontar</i> leaf has the shape of a slim rectangle 2.8 to 4 cm in width and varies in length between 20 and 80 cm. Each leaf can only accommodate around 4 lines of writing, which are incised horizontally with a small knife and then blackened with soot to increase readability. This media has a long history of attested use all over South and Southeast Asia.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In the 13th century, <a href="Paper" title="Paper">paper</a> began to be used in the <a href="Malay_Archipelago" title="Malay Archipelago">Malay Archipelago</a>. As Java began to receive significant Islamic influence in the 15th century, coinciding with the period in which Kawi script began to transition into the modern Javanese script, paper became widespread in Java while the use of <i>lontar</i> only persisted in a few regions.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996165–167_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996165–167-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> There are two kinds of paper that are commonly used in Javanese manuscript: locally produced paper called <i>daluang</i>, and imported paper. <i>Daluang</i> (also spelled <i>dluwang</i>) is a paper made from the beaten bark of the <i>saéh</i> tree (<i><a href="Paper_mulberry" title="Paper mulberry">Broussonetia papyrifera</a></i>). Visually, <i>daluang</i> can be easily differentiated from regular paper by its distinctive brown tint and fibrous appearance. A well made <i>daluang</i> has a smooth surface and is quite durable against manuscript damage commonly associated with tropical climates, especially insect damage. Meanwhile, a coarse <i>daluang</i> has a bumpy surface and tends to break easily. <i>Daluang</i> is commonly used in manuscripts produced by Javanese <a href="Kraton_(Indonesia)" title="Kraton (Indonesia)"><i>kraton</i></a> (palaces) and <i><a href="Pesantren" title="Pesantren">pesantren</a></i> (Islamic boarding schools) between the 16th and 17th centuries.<sup id="cite_ref-tey_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tey-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Most imported paper in Indonesian manuscripts came from Europe. In the beginning, only a few scribes were able to use European paper due to its high price—paper made using European methods at the time could only be imported in limited numbers.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In colonial administration, the use of European paper had to be supplemented with Javanese <i>daluang</i> and imported Chinese paper until at least the 19th century. As the paper supply increased due to growing imports from Europe, scribes in palaces and urban settlements gradually opted to use European paper as the primary medium for writing, while <i>daluang</i> paper was increasingly associated with <i>pesantren</i> and rural manuscripts.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996165–167_12-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996165–167-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alongside the increase of European paper supply, attempts to create Javanese printing type began, spearheaded by several European figures. With the establishment of printing technology in 1825, materials in Javanese script could be mass-produced and became increasingly common in various aspects of pre-independence Javanese life, from letters, books, and newspapers, to magazines, and even advertisements and paper currency.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMolen2000154–158_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMolen2000154–158-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>From the 15th century until the mid-20th century, Javanese script was used by all layers of Javanese society for writing day-to-day and literary texts with a wide range of theme and content. Due to the significant influence of oral tradition, reading in pre-independence Javanese society was usually a performance; Javanese literature texts are almost always composed in metrical verses that are designed to be recited, thus Javanese texts are not only judged by their content and language, but also by the merit of their melody and rhythm during recitation sessions.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996167–169_16-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996167–169-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Javanese poets are not expected to create new stories and characters; instead the role of the poet is to rewrite and recompose existing stories into forms that cater to local taste and prevailing trends. As a result, Javanese literary works such as the <i><a href="Panji_tales" title="Panji tales">Panji tales</a></i> do not have a single authoritative version referenced by all others; instead, the <i>Cerita Panji</i> is a loose collection of numerous tales with various versions bound together by the common thread of the Panji character.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996172_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996172-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Literature genres with the longest attested history are Sanskrit epics such as the <i><a href="Ramayana" title="Ramayana">Ramayana</a></i> and the <i><a href="Mahabharata" title="Mahabharata">Mahabharata</a></i>, which have been recomposed since the Kawi period and introduced hundreds of familiar characters in Javanese <a href="Wayang" title="Wayang">wayang</a> stories today, including <a href="Arjuna" title="Arjuna">Arjuna</a>, <a href="Shikhandi" title="Shikhandi">Srikandi</a>, <a href="Ghatotkacha" title="Ghatotkacha">Ghatotkacha</a> and many others. Since the introduction of Islam, characters of Middle-Eastern provenance such as <a href="Hikayat_Amir_Hamzah" title="Hikayat Amir Hamzah">Amir Hamzah</a> and the <a href="Joseph_in_Islam" title="Joseph in Islam">Prophet Joseph</a> have also been frequent subjects of writing. There are also local characters, usually set in Java's semi-legendary past, such as <a href="Panji_tales" title="Panji tales">Prince Panji</a>, <a href="Damar_Wulan" class="mw-redirect" title="Damar Wulan">Damar Wulan</a>, and <a href="Calon_Arang" title="Calon Arang">Calon Arang</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996172–175_18-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996172–175-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>When studies of Javanese language and literature began to attract European attention in the 19th century, an initiative to create a Javanese <a href="Movable_type" title="Movable type">movable type</a> began to take place in order to mass-produce and quickly disseminate Javanese literary materials. One of the earliest attempts to create a movable Javanese type was by Paul van Vlissingen. His typeface was first put in use in the <i>Bataviasche Courant</i> newspaper's October 1825 issue.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMolen2000137_19-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMolen2000137-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While lauded as a considerable technical achievement, many at the time felt that Vlissingen's design was a coarse copy of the fine Javanese hand used in literary texts, and so this early attempt was further developed by numerous other people to varying degrees of success as the study of Javanese developed over the years.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMolen2000136–140_20-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMolen2000136–140-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1838, Taco Roorda completed his typeface, known as <a href="Tuladha_Jejeg" title="Tuladha Jejeg">Tuladha Jejeg</a>, based on the hand of <a href="Surakarta" title="Surakarta">Surakartan</a> scribes<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>b<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> with some European typographical elements mixed in. Roorda's font garnered positive feedback and soon became the main choice to print any Javanese text. From then, reading materials in printed Javanese using Roorda's typeface became widespread among the Javanese populace and were widely used in materials other than literature. The establishment of print technology gave rise to a printing industry which, for the next century, produced various materials in printed Javanese, from administrative papers and school books, to mass media such as the Kajawèn magazine which was entirely printed in Javanese in all of its articles and columns.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMolen2000154–158_15-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMolen2000154–158-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-astuti_23-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-astuti-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Javanese script was part of the multilingual legal text on the <a href="Netherlands_Indies_gulden" class="mw-redirect" title="Netherlands Indies gulden">Netherlands Indies gulden</a> banknotes circulated by the <a href="Bank_of_Java" title="Bank of Java">Bank of Java</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p> As literacy rates and the demand for reading materials increased at the beginning of the 20th century, Javanese publishers paradoxically began to decrease the amount of Javanese script publication due to a practical and economic consideration: printing any text in Javanese script at the time required twice the amount of paper compared to the same text rendered in <a href="Javanese_orthography" title="Javanese orthography">the Latin alphabet</a>, making Javanese texts more expensive and time-consuming to produce. In order to lower production costs and keep book prices affordable to the general populace, many publishers gradually prioritized publications in the Latin alphabet.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTERobson201125_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERobson201125-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-rinkes_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-rinkes-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>c<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the Javanese population at the time maintained the use of Javanese script in various aspects of everyday life. It was, for example, considered more polite to write a letter using Javanese script, especially one addressed toward an elder or superior. Many publishers, including Balai Pustaka, continued to print books, newspapers, and magazines in Javanese script due to sufficient, albeit declining, demand. The use of Javanese script only started to drop significantly during the <a href="Japanese_occupation_of_the_Dutch_East_Indies" title="Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies">Japanese occupation of the Dutch East Indies</a> beginning in 1942.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Some writers attribute this sudden decline to prohibitions issued by the Japanese government banning the use of native script in the public sphere, though no documentary evidence of such a ban has yet been found. Nevertheless, the use of Javanese script did decline significantly during the Japanese occupation and it never recovered its previous widespread use in post-independence Indonesia.

<p>In contemporary usage, Javanese script is still taught as part of the local curriculum in <a href="Special_Region_of_Yogyakarta" title="Special Region of Yogyakarta">Yogyakarta</a>, <a href="Central_Java_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="Central Java Province">Central Java</a>, and the <a href="East_Java_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="East Java Province">East Java Province</a>. Several local newspapers and magazines have columns written in Javanese script, and the script can frequently be seen on public signage. However, many contemporary attempts to revive Javanese script are symbolic rather than functional; there are no longer, for example, periodicals like the <i>Kajawèn</i> magazine that publish significant content in Javanese script. Most Javanese people today know the existence of the script and recognize a few letters, but it is rare to find someone who can read and write it meaningfully.<sup id="cite_ref-wahab_29-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-wahab-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Therefore, as recently as 2019, it is not uncommon to see Javanese script signage in public places with numerous misspellings and basic mistakes.<sup id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Several hurdles in revitalizing the use of Javanese script includes information technology equipment that does not support correct rendering of Javanese script, lack of governing bodies with sufficient competence to consult on its usage, and lack of typographical explorations that may intrigue contemporary viewers. Nevertheless, attempts to revive the script are still being conducted by several communities and public figures who encourage the use of Javanese script in the public sphere, especially with digital devices.<sup id="cite_ref-radar_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-radar-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><i>Aksara</i> are base letters that represent a single syllable. Javanese script has approximately 45 base <i>aksara</i> (letters), but not all of them are equally used. Over time, some <i>aksara</i> have fallen out of use, while others are only employed in specific contexts. Therefore, the <i>aksara</i> in Javanese script are classified into several types based on their function and usage.

According to Padmasusastra<sup id="cite_ref-47" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-47"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and Dwijasewaya,<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> there are five <i>rékan</i> characters: <i>kha</i>, <i>dza</i>, <i>fa</i>, <i>za</i>, and <i>gha</i>. However, according to Hollander, there are nine.<sup id="cite_ref-49" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-49"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>43<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Diacritics (<i>sandhangan</i> ꦱꦤ꧀ꦝꦔꦤ꧀) are marks attached to characters to modify the inherent vowel of the respective character. Similar to the characters themselves, Javanese diacritics can also be divided into several groups depending on their function and usage.

<p><i>Aksara swara</i> (ꦲꦏ꧀ꦱꦫꦱ꧀ꦮꦫ) are characters used to write independent vowels.

<p>The inherent vowel of each base character can be nullified using the diacritic <i>pangkon</i>. However, the <i>pangkon</i> is generally not used in the middle of words or sentences. Instead, to write a closed syllable in the middle of a word or sentence, the <i>pasangan</i> form (ꦥꦱꦔꦤ꧀) is used. Unlike the <i>pangkon</i>, the <i>pasangan</i> not only nullifies the preceding consonant but also indicates the subsequent consonant. For example, the character <i>ma</i> (ꦩ) followed by the <i>pasangan</i> form of <i>pa</i> (꧀ꦥ) becomes <i>mpa</i> (ꦩ꧀ꦥ). The <i>pasangan</i> forms in this table are those used in modern Javanese writing. Some characters have different <i>pasangan</i> forms in Sanskrit-Kawi writing.

<p>Traditional Javanese text is written without spaces between words (<i><a href="Scriptio_continua" title="Scriptio continua">scriptio continua</a></i>) and uses a set of punctuation marks known as <i>pada</i> (ꦥꦢ). To separate sentences, Javanese script employs <i>pada lungsi</i> (꧉) when the last syllable is open (without a <i>pangkon</i>) but uses <i>pada lingsa</i> (꧈) when the last syllable is closed (using a <i>pangkon</i>). Conversely, to separate clauses, <i>pada lingsa</i> (꧈) is used if the last syllable is closed, while a space is used if the last syllable is open. This punctuation system differs from the use of periods and commas in Latin script and is often not well understood by contemporary Javanese script users.
</p><p>Additionally, Javanese script lacks equivalents for <a href="Question_mark" title="Question mark">question marks</a>, <a href="Exclamation_mark" title="Exclamation mark">exclamation marks</a>, <a href="Hyphen" title="Hyphen">hyphens</a>, mathematical symbols (including slashes), and <a href="Semicolon" title="Semicolon">semicolons</a>. Consequently, whether a sentence in Javanese script is interrogative (question) or imperative (command) can only be inferred from the context. The various forms of <i>pada</i> are as follows:

<p>In modern teaching, the most commonly used punctuation marks in Javanese script are <i>pada adeg-adeg</i>, <i>pada lingsa</i>, and <i>pada lungsi</i>, which function similarly to a paragraph mark (like a <a href="Pilcrow" title="Pilcrow">pilcrow</a>), a <a href="Comma" title="Comma">comma</a>, and a <a href="Full_stop" title="Full stop">full stop</a>, respectively. <i>Pada adeg-adeg</i> opens a paragraph, <i>pada lingsa</i> separates clauses or sentences and <i>pada lungsi</i> ends a sentence. Other punctuation marks include <i>pada adeg</i> and <i>pada pisèlèh</i>, which are used to enclose inserts in the text, similar to <a href="Parentheses" class="mw-redirect" title="Parentheses">parentheses</a> or <a href="Quotation_marks" class="mw-redirect" title="Quotation marks">quotation marks</a>. <i>Pada pangkat</i> functions similarly to a <a href="Colon_(punctuation)" title="Colon (punctuation)">colon</a>. <i>Pada rangkap</i> is sometimes used as a repetition marker, similar to the use of the number "2" in informal Indonesian (e.g. kata-kata ꦏꦠꦏꦠ → ꦏꦠꧏ = kata2).<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5_62-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Some punctuation marks, like <i>rerenggan</i>, have no direct Latin script equivalents and are often purely decorative. They are frequently used to frame titles or sections of text, with considerable variation among writers. In correspondence, certain punctuation marks indicate the sender’s social status. <i>Pada andhap</i> denotes low status, <i>pada madya</i> denotes middle status, <i>pada luhur</i> denotes high status, and <i>pada guru</i> is neutral, without social connotations. <i>Pada pancak</i> is used to end a letter. However, these distinctions are generalized. The actual forms and functions of these punctuation marks are highly variable, with specific regional and personal styles.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5_62-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>In traditional manuscripts, some royal scribes used specific correction marks instead of crossing out errors. <i>Tirta tumétès</i> is found in Yogyakarta manuscripts, while <i>isèn-isèn</i> is found in Surakarta manuscripts.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEverson20085_63-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEverson20085-63"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>53<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Pepadan"><i>Pepadan</i></h4></div>
<p>Aside from regular punctuation, one of the distinctive features in Javanese script writing is <i>pepadan</i> (ꦥꦼꦥꦢꦤ꧀), a series of highly ornate verse marks.
</p><p>Behrend (1996) categorizes <i>pepadan</i> into two general groups: small <i>pada</i>, which are single punctuation marks, and large <i>pada</i>, which are often composed of several marks arranged in a sequence. Small <i>pada</i> are used to indicate stanza breaks, typically appearing every 32 to 48 syllables depending on the meter used. Large <i>pada</i> mark a change in <i><a href="Javanese_poetry" title="Javanese poetry">tembang</a></i>, or <i>canto</i>, and usually appear every 5 to 10 pages, depending on the structure of the text.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996188_64-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996188-64"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>54<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Javanese writing guides often identify three types of large pada <i>purwa pada</i> used at the beginning of the first <i>tembang</i>, <i>madya pada</i> used at <i>tembang</i> transitions, and <i>wasana pada</i> used at the end of the text.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5_62-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEverson20084–5-62"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, these three marks are often merged and treated as one in many Javanese texts.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996190_65-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996190-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p><i>Pepadan</i> is a visually prominent element in Javanese manuscripts and may be rendered in color or even gilded.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996189–190_66-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996189–190-66"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>56<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In some luxurious manuscripts, the form of pepadan can even serve as a clue to the song being used; for instance, pepadan featuring wings or crow-like birds (dhandhang in Javanese) refers to the <i>dhandhanggula</i> tembang, while those featuring goldfish allude to the <i>maskumambang</i> ("gold floating in water") tembang. One of the key centers for producing manuscripts with exceptional pepadan designs was the <a href="Scriptorium" title="Scriptorium">scriptorium</a> of <a href="Pakualaman" title="Pakualaman">Pakualaman</a> in Yogyakarta.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996190_65-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBehrend1996190-65"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>55<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-67" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-67"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>57<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>In the Madurese, the Javanese script is referred to as <i>carakan Madhurâ</i> or c<i>arakan Jhâbân</i> (script from Javanese).

<p>The closest relative of the Javanese script is the <a href="Balinese_script" title="Balinese script">Balinese script</a>. As a direct descendant of the <a href="Kawi_script" title="Kawi script">Kawi script</a>, Javanese and Balinese scripts still share many similarities in the basic structure of each letter. One striking difference between Javanese and Balinese scripts is the writing system; the Balinese writing system tends to be more conservative and retains many aspects of Kawi orthography that are no longer used in Javanese script. For example, the word "<i>desa</i>" in Javanese script is now written as ꦢꦺꦱ.

In this way the costs are about one third of printing in Javanese characters, seeing that printing in that type, which furthermore is not readily available, is one and a half times to twice as expensive (and more time-consuming) than in roman type, also because it cannot be set on a setting-machine, and one page of Javanese type only contains about half the number of words on one page of the same text in roman script."</span>
