Baybayin is a Philippine script. The script is an abugida belonging to the family of the Brahmic scripts. Geographically, it was widely used in Luzon and other parts of the Philippines prior to and during the 16th and 17th centuries before being replaced by the Latin alphabet during the period of Spanish colonization. It was used in the Tagalog language and, to a lesser extent, Kapampangan-speaking areas; its use spread to the Ilocanos in the early 17th century. In the 19th and 20th centuries, baybayin survived and evolved into multiple forms—the Tagbanwa script of Palawan, and the Hanuno'o and Buhid scripts of Mindoro—and was used to create the constructed modern Kulitan script of the Kapampangan and the Ibalnan script of the Palawan people. Under the Unicode Standard and ISO 15924, the script is encoded as the Tagalog block.

Tagalog is a Unicode block containing characters of the Baybayin script, specifically the variety used for writing the Tagalog language before Spanish colonization of the Philippines eventually led to the adoption of the Latin alphabet. It has been a part of the Unicode Standard since version 3.2 in April 2002. Tagalog characters can be found in the Noto Sans Tagalog font, among others. The Tagalog Baybayin script was originally proposed for inclusion in Unicode alongside its descendant Hanunoo, Buhid and Tagbanwa scripts as a single block called "Philippine Scripts" and two punctuation marks are only part of the Hanunoo block. In 2021, with version 14.0, the Unicode Standard was updated to add three new characters: the "ra" and archaic "ra", and the pamudpod.
