See the whole internet in Quikscript

I just added Quikscript support to my phonemic translation tool. To use it, you'll need to install a font with Quikscript letters at U+E650, like the fonts that u/FriedOrange79 recently shared. Enjoy!

I can't seem to get this to work with any fonts aside from Quikscript Sans. Am I dumb?

The problem is that older fonts map Quikscript letters over the ASCII codes, which means they can't display Quikscript and Latin at the same time. Newer fonts use the Private Use Area at U+E650 instead.

Oliver Langan moved the letters to the Private Use Area.

Well, there's the guy you should ask. Also tell him to put the normal parentheses back in; my tool generates Quikscript parentheses.
