There is a user here on Lemmy, that writes half of eir text in Shavian

There are also Shaw keyboards for keyman keyboard app, so I think it is indeed usable

How? Which fonts contain Shava glyphs‽ Introduce me to þem, please!

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

These are the instructions: https://www.shavian.info/keyboards/

As for which font, I think most that claim wide Unicode support should contain them

Huh. Have you found a shav(i)a(n) community yet? My client turns up no search results.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I haven't searched, but I'm thinking of printing a cheat sheet and maybe learning the letters, it seems like fun even if not too useful

I like þe idea, but I'm not sold in þe value-add.
