You might be interested in the real language Elfdalian which uses (or used in the past, nowadays it seems they transliterate in latin letters) a flavor of runes for writing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfdalian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalecarlian_runes Apart from being covered by Unicode you might even get EU funding for such project, as the language is in danger of getting extinct and (according to Wikipedia) Council of Europe is pushing to help avoid that. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
