Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's article on Tibetan calligraphy, including the Uchen script, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable for standard identifying facts and less reliable for detailed paleographic or art historical claims, which a dedicated specialist source would need to settle.
Notes
Wikipedia's article on Tibetan calligraphy, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its account of the scholar Khyungpo Yutri systematizing the Uchen script in the ninth century, distinguished from Thonmi Sambhota's earlier seventh century creation of the Tibetan alphabet itself, and for its note on the handwriting manual The Clear, Precious Box, standard reference facts distinct from the atlas's existing Introduction to Tibetan Buddhism citation.
