Raden, Rustopo, Timbul Haryono Affiliation: Program Doktor ISI Surakarta Abstract Code: ABS-ICOLLITE-20026 Transforming Sundanese Script: From Palm Leaf to Digital Typography AGUNG ZAINAL MUTTAKIN RADEN, RUSTOPO, TIMBUL HARYONO ABSTRACT The impact of globalisation is the lost of local culture, transformation is an attempt to offset the global culture. This article will discuss the transformation process from the Sundanese script contained in palm leaf media to the modern Sundanese script in the form of digital typography. The method used is transformation, which can be applied to rediscover the ancient Sundanese script within the new form known as the modern Sundanese script that it is relevant to modern society. Transformation aims to maintain local culture from global cultural domination. This article discovers the way Sundanese people reinvent their identity through the transformation from ancient Sundanese script to modern Sundanese script by designing a new form of script in order to follow the global technological developments. Keywords: Sundanese script, digital typography, transformation, reinventing, globalisation INTRODUCTION Sundanese ancient handwriting in palm leaf manuscripts is one of the cultural heritage that provides rich knowledge about past, recent, and the future of the Sundanese. The Sundanese script is a manifestation of Sundanese artefacts that contain many symbols and values Digitisation is the process of transforming analogue material into binary electronic (digital) form, especially for storage and use in a computer The dataset consists of three type of data: annotation at word level, annotation at character level, and binarised images Unicode is a universal character encoding standard used for representation of text for computer processing METHODS Transforming: Aims to reinvent an old form of tradition so that it fits into and suits contemporary lifestyles. Technique suggests any kind of technical knowledge or technology. According Fulton (1992) material refers to “any physical matter from which things can be made or which can be used for a specific purpose” RESULT AND DISCUSSION A. Sundanese Script on Palm Leaf The Sundanese palm leaf were written in the ancient Sundanese language. The length is about 25-45 cm and the width is about 10-15 cm. The manuscripts have a centre hole used to pass the string to link A. Modern Sundanese Script Since 1997 has began to digitisation Sundanese Script. 2008 the modern Sundanese script has began to enrol to unicode system. The Unicode Standard defines various properties for each character, such as case, directionality, combining class, Unicode name, and the like The Unicode Consortium is the membership-based organisation responsible for the Unicode Standard. It defines the behaviour and relationship among Unicode characters and provides technical information to implementers Digital transformation is a technology driven continuous change process of companies and our entire society. It’s cornerstone is ubiquitous embedded computing, connectivity, and flexible value streams CONCLUSION Old Sundanese script is still maintained After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template until now. Preservation of ancient Sundanese scripts is still carried out by some observers of ancient Sundanese scripts. Modern Sundanese script, which is the result of transformation of ancient Sundanese script, has been widely applied as a learning medium in the form of books, card games, and Android keyboard applications.
