     @pinetree What writing systems did you draw inspiration from and what language do you use (for this writing system)?

     @niko@jir.moe i draw my inspiration from southern brahmic scripts (according to wikipedia), especially kawi and its child systems. so far i only used it for indonesian (and it's probably compatible with many other indonesian languages) because it still has a lot of limitations and conlanging is a little bit to much for me to handle.

     @pinetree It looks cool to use something other than the Latin alphabet. Unfortunately the Indon language doesn’t have its own writing system and it makes me sad. Maybe it’s possible to incorporate Jawi in Indon (like how the Malays used to do) but I don’t really like right-to-left direction. I want to use Javanese script but it’s a chaotic mess in my terminal and it looks ugly in computer screens in general. Currently, in my system, I can type basic Javanese scripts using a modifier key. For example, ꧌ ꦲꦏꦸ ꦱꦼꦤꦼꦔ꧀ ꦔꦕꦏ꧀ ꧌ I used pangkon mid-sentence because I don’t know where to map the pasangan yet.
