    That’s so cool! I had never really considered how important fonts are for language preservation in the 21st century where so much language and communication is written on a screen, I’m glad someone’s putting in the work.

    Thanks for sharing! This is great. I was just talking with coworkers about the need for this in education. We should be able to accept all Canadian students’ names as written.

    This is very cool. My partner works on documenting and preserving languages and I spent a bunch of time recently learning how to create xkbd layouts to get that shit working on Linux. Like the fonts are important but so are the keyboard mappings.

    Unicode is a really cool thing.
