It was employed primarily to record Isma'ili religious literature as well as literature for a few secret Twelver sects. Khojki is belibed being created by Pir Sadardin (da‘i Pir Sadruddin) in XV century. Khojki first appears in manuscripts in around 1737 and was thought to have become distinct from the Landa alphabet during the 16th century.
