Yi Syllables (UA000).
My favorite new alphabet (well, new to me) is Yi Syllables! The over 1000 letters look like things we would make up as secret codes in fifth grade: Codechart: UA000.pdf
( Yi, also known as Lolo, is the Sino-Tibetan language used by aboriginal people of south-west China. -- www.hclrss.demon.co.uk/unicode/yi_syllables.html )
- Ethiopic (U1200).
- Georgian (U10A0).
- APL (in Miscellaneous Technical U2300).
The APL programming language had lots of nifty characters. They look best when printed by the IBM Selectric typeball. The ones in these codecharts are pretty lame, but at least we have codespace allocated in the Miscellaneous Technical section, which also has some other old computer symbols, and the Macintosh Propeller (U2318).
- Conscript Unicode Extensions!
The ConScript site collects specifications for constructed/artificial scripts, including scripts for constructed/artificial languages. They are mapped into unicode space reserved for "private use".
Here you will find some of my favorites like Kingsley Read's Shavian, J. R. R. Tolkien's Tengwar & Cirth, and Seussian Latin Extensions (from Dr Seuss's On Beyond Zebra)!
OK, let's try some unicode on your brower. Bigger is often more readable:
