This sounded an interesting challenge, so I decided to have a go at it. Here’s my best attempt: ꧁ꦗꦥ꦳ꦱ꧀ꦏꦿꦶꦥ꧀ꦠꦼ꧂ / or as an image: https://i.imgur.com/kRq6o88.png https://i.imgur.com/kRq6o88.png. An explanation, because it’s interesting: Javanese script is an abugida, like all other Brahmi-derived scripts. This means that each letter has an inherent vowel; thus, a letter by itself represents a whole syllable, starting with that consonant and ending with the inherent vowel. In Javanese, the inherent vowel is /a/, so the first two letters ꦗꦥ꦳ represent the two syllables /ja va/. (The dots on the second letter indicate that /v/ isn’t a native sound; the closest you can get natively is ꦗꦮ /ja wa/.) The next syllable /skri/ is ꦱ꧀ꦏꦿꦶ, which has a few components, so let’s break it down. Firstly, vowel change is achieved by adding a diacritic; e.g. /ja wi/ would be ꦗꦮꦶ, with the diacritic ◌ꦶ for /-i/. You get consonant clusters using the conjunct form of a consonant — the second consonant in a cluster is changed to its conjunct form and placed below (or sometimes next to) the first consonant. e.g. /ka/ is ꦏ, while /sa/ ꦱ can be converted to /ska/ ꦱ꧀ꦏ by placing the conjunct form of ꦏ below ꦱ. (In Unicode, the conjuncts are not encoded separately, being a combination of the first consonant in the cluster with a pangkon, but that’s a discussion for another time.) Finally, the syllable gains a medial /-r-/ from the ‘cakra’ diacritic ◌ ꦿ wrapped around the syllable. So: starting from /sa/ ꦱ, add the conjunct /ska/ ꦱ꧀ꦏ, then add the cakra giving /skra/ ꦱ꧀ꦏꦿ, and then finally add the vowel diacritic giving /skri/ ꦱ꧀ꦏꦿꦶ. The final letter ꦥ꧀ꦠꦼ represents /ptə/, and is formed by similar principles: /pa/ ꦥ → /pta/ ꦥ꧀ꦠ → /ptə/ ꦥ꧀ꦠꦼ. (Or possibly should it be /pʈə/ ꦥ꧀ꦛꦼ? But ꦥ꧀ꦠꦼ sounds the same to English-speakers, and looks nicer in context.) Finally, I added ꧁꧂ around it to look nice — in authentic Javanese manuscripts, these punctuation marks are used surrounding titles. EDIT: I forgot to mention why I split up the last English syllable /skɹɪpt/ into two syllables /skrip.tə/ — it’s because Javanese syllables can’t end in /-pt/, so I have to insert a vowel afterwards to make the English word fit into Javanese orthography. (And then the orthography adds an extra layer of complication, because the two syllables /skrip.tə/ end up being written as orthographic /skri ptə/, with the /p/ being moved to the beginning of the next syllable block, because Javanese script can only write initial consonant clusters… I think; this is one of the bits I’m a bit unsure about here.)
