To date, there are 293 known writing systems in the world, ‘living or historical’. If you are curious, you can see all the glyphs and enjoy an overview of the world’s writing systems on this beautiful website:

It is a great initiative by Missing Scripts Project that wishes to identify #worldwritingsystems, which are not yet encoded in the Unicode standard.
131 scripts still need to be encoded in Unicode. Hopefully, all of them can be inputted by your computer keyboard in the future.
The Missing Scripts Project is a joint effort of
