shakes fist in anger πππΎπ’π
I'm flipping between "why is there cuneiform Unicode" and "of course there's cuneiform Unicode" much more rapidly than I really expected
Yeah, most dead scripts have Unicode, specifically because how the hell would you write academic papers about them in this day and age otherwise? Even old Irish Ogham:
α ααα
The line is a convention, because ogham was originally written on the corner of a stone stela.
αααααααααααααααααα
Ogham is awesome
I've used it for cryptic languages in TTRPGs before, alongside a few other runic scripts like ααααα±α«α α’α¦οΈα¨α±α².
My favorite is Gallifreyan, which doesn't have unicode, is far too niche and homebrewed to have unicode, and how the hell would unicode even work?
