Someone asked about handwritten Shavian.  There are a number of letters which can possibly be confused.  Just wanted to jot this down and come back to it later.
  • The worst group: 𐑲, 𐑳, 𐑢 can all turn into one another if written fast.
  • Also some pairs: 𐑯/𐑷, π‘₯/𐑭, 𐑱/𐑬.
  • 𐑯π‘₯ can be written as straight diagonal lines and 𐑷𐑭 as zigzags.
  • We could perhaps suggest that 𐑢𐑬 be written crossed to distinguish them from 𐑱𐑲𐑳.
  • That takes care of everything except the confusion of 𐑲 with 𐑳.  I'm not sure what to suggest for that.  Any thoughts?
  • There are many more possible confusions if you don't take care to distinguish tall/deep and short letters: 𐑓/𐑨 𐑝/𐑩 etc.
If you don't have an account you can create one now.
