The Dogri script is a writing system originally used for writing the Dogri language in Jammu and Kashmir in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent.^[1]

The revival of the Dogra Akkhar script was supported by the order of Maharaja Ranbir Singh of Jammu and Kashmir.^[2] It is a modified version of the old Dogra Akkhar script, which in turn was a Jammu variant of the Takri script.

Signboards in New Dogra Akkhar were erected at Jammu Tawi railway station.^[3] However, the script is functionally extinct, with Devanagari being used to write Dogri now. Most speakers of Dogra are unable to read and write the language in its original script.

Name Dogra Akkhar was added as a Unicode block to the Unicode Standard in June, 2018 (version 11.0).^[4]

The Unicode block is named Dogra, at U+11800–U+1184F, and contains 60 characters:
