Okay I have a story idea / Unicode test · 10:05pm Sep 27th, 2021
I have a story idea. It involves the use of a conlang I made up. If I want to use it, I need to write it in either expanded English characters, or Ogham characters. So here's a test. Let me know if you see the weird lines or boxes, and what device you're reading on.

Works just fine.
I see them, Android phone.
iOS is happy with it, too.
I can see it. PC
Safari for iPhone (iPhone 8+) sees it just fine.
Moto g7 here - it rendered fine i think. I'll test on one of my Linux machines
Lines on PC running Windows 10 on Firefox here.
I would be interested to see if this makes any sense to my E-reader after being exported as an epub
Samsung phone, I don't see the empty boxes of death that usually note missed characters. No idea what it says, though.
PC google chrome.
Looks fine, though I have no idea what it may say.
5588248 It should, as long as the exporter uses unicode (it should). .epub supports UTF-8 by default so it can have a book in any language.
5588227 Does it look like a line crossed by slashes and short and long lines? If so, it worked.
PC, Chrome, and I see horizonal lines with slashes and little lines either hanging down or standing up from the horizontal lines.
5588284
just tested this and unfortunately that is a hard no all I get out of the the reader is the characters > < . I copy and pasted into google docs and then exported as epub
5588298 I did not have that problem. I used google docs and the "download as epub". I did use Calbre to open it however. What program did you use to read the epub file?
5588293 Looks like most devices can display it. Good!
5588322
Not a program but a Kobo Libra H20 dont worry im a very very edge case
5588333 I could publish PDFs?
Lenovo laptop, Windows 10, Chrome, looks just fine.
Just one problem... I lost my Ogham dictionary!! It was disposed of like everything else I owned!
My Android phone can read it, but not my tablet.
5588371 It wouldn't help, the text with english characters are:
Mbĩ yawlngã et měkpaw̃s mbĩ Tarawãg kpas ki liũ ĩkawp.
Samũmmã mbĩ Tarawãg ãyawl.
Mbĩ Tarawãg les mbě yogbyũ.
Ãyawl tet děrtuũngyũ aip.
Ĩmye kugb ãip ab ib sapip.
Dãm mã et yi bong ãyawl.
Ãkut du a gběd.
Mbě gig ngung su sě̃.

Did you SAY that or GARGLE it?
5588624
I'm more interested to know whether or not there's a bit of bitten-off tongue flopping loose on the floor somewhere.
5588624 it sounds pritty elegent when spoken, IMO. Have the IPA transcription and a recording.

Thank you, Meep. I have not heard any form of Celtic spoken in 40 years. Good to hear, just confusing to read.
5588705 It sound similar to cletic? Neat! I created this language from nothing more than the full set of sound humans can make using a simple AI engine :3
