That's so beautiful. I especially love how syllables are encoded as single symbols. Phonetic writing systems are amazing and this one is especially neat. But.

That's so beautiful. I especially love how syllables are encoded as single symbols. Phonetic writing systems are amazing and this one is especially neat. But... as a parent of a kid with dyslexia... I can't imagine teaching him this alphabet: he'd be shooting in the dark on vowel choices. After many months of deliberate effort, he can distinguish d/b from p/q but within those groups, he's completely lost. Sometimes, I've learned, beauty of symmetry comes at a cost. One symbol im the title stands out: ᐦ appears to be missing from that chart -- any chance you know what's going on there?
