Old Zhuang writing adapted Chinese forms.
By the Tang period, Zhuang writers adapted Chinese shapes, sounds, and meanings to write their language. The square script appeared in contracts, songs, petitions, and ritual texts.
A Latin-based standard for Zhuang appeared in 1955. The glyph is listed in the 1989 Old Zhuang Character Dictionary.
