Hello, Ms. Bettencourt! I am an orthography enthusiast, and I appreciate your font has an extensive support to many scripts not in Unicode, containing conscripts.

I have another idea for expanding the language support of the font. Would you add these 'Soviet Latin' letters in this proposal to PUA?
L2/11-360: Revised proposal to encode Latin letters used in the Former Soviet Union

In the 1920s, the Soviet Union adopted some modified Latin scripts to many languages used in there -- but many of them are not in Unicode. A proposal has been made, but the proposal is not approved yet.

Also, a post-Soviet one, but the Turkmen orthography from 1993 had some 'letters' modeled after CP437 symbol glyphs, which is not in Unicode. These are:

  • Latin Capital Letter Pound (≡ £)
  • Latin Small Letter R with Fishhook and Long Leg (≡ )
  • Latin Capital Letter S with Descender and Ascender (≡ $)
  • Latin Small Letter C with Descender and Ascender (≡ ¢)
  • Latin Capital Letter Y with Low Stroke (≡ ¥)

I wish you have a happy conlanging!
