A general term for the characters that belong to the same system, mainly found in India, Tibet, Southeast Asia, etc. In the 20th century, the Indus script inscribed on seals and pottery fragments discovered at ruins such as Harappa, which was excavated from 1920 to 1921, and Mohenjo Daro, which began excavation in 1922, remains undeciphered. All that is known is that the impressions and inscriptions are consistent, each seal contains an average of six characters, with a maximum of 17, and the writing direction is from right to left, with the opposite direction when it spans two lines, a so-called "ox-plowing style."
