They were included in the script’s original design.
Lakhum Mossang began the script in 1990 to write his Mossang variety, called Muishvung by its speakers. He taught it by hand and used songs and a prayer to show how writing could preserve culture. A chart from 2013 shows all ten digits. Later revisions aimed to include more Tangsa varieties. In 2021, some communities also wrote Tangsa in Latin letters.
