In contemporary usage, Javanese script is still taught as part of the local curriculum in [[Special Region of Yogyakarta|Yogyakarta]], [[Central Java Province|Central Java]], and the [[East Java Province]]. Several local newspapers and magazines have columns written in Javanese script, and the script can frequently be seen on public signage. However, many contemporary attempts to revive Javanese script are symbolic rather than functional; there are no longer, for example, periodicals like the ''Kajawèn'' magazine that publish significant content in Javanese script. Most Javanese people today know the existence of the script and recognize a few letters, but it is rare to find someone who can read and write it meaningfully.<ref name="wahab">{{cite conference|url=http://repositori.kemdikbud.go.id/3067/1/Kongres%20Bahasa%20Indonesia%20VIII%20Kelompok%20B%20Ruang%20Rote.pdf|conference=Kongres Bahasa Indonesia VIII|date=October 2003|title=Masa Depan Bahasa, Sastra, dan Aksara Daerah|first=Abdul|last=Wahab|publisher=Pusat Bahasa Departemen Pendidikan Indonesia|volume=Kelompok B, Ruang Rote|pages=8–9}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Florida|first=Nancy K|year=1995|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JtXWqGzfzGgC&q=read+javanese+script&pg=PA37|title=Writing the Past, Inscribing the Future: History as Prophesy in Colonial Java|publisher=Duke University Press|isbn=9780822316220|page=37}}</ref> Therefore, as recently as 2019, it is not uncommon to see Javanese script signage in public places with numerous misspellings and basic mistakes.<ref>{{cite web|last=Mustika |first=I Ketut Sawitra|date=12 October 2017 |title=Alumni Sastra Jawa UGM Bantu Koreksi Tulisan Jawa pada Papan Nama Jalan di Jogja|work=Solopos.com |url=https://m.solopos.com/alumni-sastra-jawa-ugm-bantu-koreksi-tulisan-jawa-pada-papan-nama-jalan-di-jogja-859202| location=Yogyakarta |editor1-first=Nina|editor1-last=Atmasari|access-date=8 May 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Eswe |first=Hana |date=13 October 2019 |title=Penunjuk Jalan Beraksara Jawa Salah Tulis Dikritik Penggiat Budaya |url=https://suarabaru.id/2019/10/13/penunjuk-jalan-beraksara-jawa-salah-tulis-dikritik-penggiat-budaya/ |publisher=SUARABARU.id|location=Grobogan |access-date=8 May 2020}}</ref> Several hurdles in revitalizing the use of Javanese script includes information technology equipment that does not support correct rendering of Javanese script, lack of governing bodies with sufficient competence to consult on its usage, and lack of typographical explorations that may intrigue contemporary viewers. Nevertheless, attempts to revive the script are still being conducted by several communities and public figures who encourage the use of Javanese script in the public sphere, especially with digital devices.<ref name="radar">{{Cite web|url=https://radarjogja.jawapos.com/2020/02/27/bangkitkan-kongres-bahasa-jawa-setelah-mati-suri/|location=Bantul|title=Bangkitkan Kongres Bahasa Jawa Setelah Mati Suri|date=27 February 2020|author=Siti Fatimah|publisher=RADARJOGJA.co|access-date=9 May 2020|archive-date=19 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200619201043/https://radarjogja.jawapos.com/2020/02/27/bangkitkan-kongres-bahasa-jawa-setelah-mati-suri/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
