Pegon’s Script as One of Scripts to Present Character Education’s Theme and Preservation of Local Culture: A Review of Singir Mitera Sejati - Rembang

Abstract

It is the pegon's script, as the script used in this study, is a product of the adaptation of two cultures; Arab and Javanese. This text not only describes morality which is very closely related to spirituality, but emerges local culture [2]. The acculturation of this script's model has not become a serious study among observers of our culture except that it is limited to the study of the pegon script as a product of the adaptation of Arabic and Malay culture born in Java. The majority research is a study of the acculturation of Arabic and Javanese Arabic culture has always focused on raising physical evidence of buildings and architecture in ancient history, whereas before 1883 AD on certain studies, Crawford had put forward the proposition that the indigenous inhabitants of Indonesia and the Malays had accepted Islam straight from Arabs. But after 1883 AD the opinion began to be refuted by scholars with a variety of opinions about the entry of Islam in Indonesia / the archipelago. The diversity of these opinions relates to which region Islam in Indonesia originated, who brought it, and when was the entry of Islam into Indonesia [3].
