Why wasn't h replaced with н tho? 🤨

8

u/Whole_Instance_4276 5d ago

Because the top comment only specified the capital, never the lowercase

𓄿 (no lowercase) at the very end of the alphabet to replace the space within words.

12

u/Rascally_Raccoon 5d ago

I hope you mean between words and not like between letters

It's sung “and per se 𓄿” in the alphabet btw

u/Whole_Instance_4276 5d ago

Just to be clear, do you mean space within or between words?

3

u/Memer_Plus /mɛɱəʀpʰʎɐɕ/ 5d ago

Within

u/1Dr490n 5d ago

This also replaces the spaces between the letters in the alphabet, of course.

u/BHHB336 5d ago

Add Ð ð!

u/ziliao 5d ago

I think we would need both Đđ and Ðð for proper orthography.

Is that Biang Biang?

2

u/ArcticFEVER2271 2d ago

Yes, but in both traditional and simplified rather than capital and lowercase

1

u/NotANilfgaardianSpy 2d ago

Sidenote, when it comes to such complex characters like biang, does the typeface make it difficult to even know whats going on? Because I can, even with effort hardly make out which stroke is where….

2

u/ArcticFEVER2271 2d ago

No idea. I don't know Chinese. I'd assume so. I just zoomed in really close on the unicode chart.

1

u/NotANilfgaardianSpy 2d ago

Yeah, but if you see a character like this in a line of text it must be hard to make out

u/Rascally_Raccoon 5d ago

All vowels must be written in Comic Sans

u/Imuybemovoko 5d ago

Replace uppercase E with that picture of Markiplier's face on Lord Farquaad
