摘要

Endangered scripts carry local knowledge and culture, making digitalization vital for cultural continuity. This paper reviews 120 publications (2011-2025) through computing and design lenses and proposes a phased classification. Our analysis shows that the literature prioritizes technical aspects of digital preservation, while application-oriented studies remain limited. This paper argues for a paradigm shift from preservation to revitalization, calling for community partnership, cultural grounding, and collaboration with creative disciplines.
