You… you are so cool! I’m making the most comprehensive character map ever.
If you can translate my Unicodia to Chinese — I’d like to!
Of course, I’m always looking for better fonts.

@MY1L , where do you take ideograph images from? And which style do you use: Chinese, Japanese etc?

@Mercury13

@MY1L , Which fonts I really lack:
Devanagari: lots of technical issues in Noto
Lanna: sans-serif for one of the nicest scripts in the world?
Oriya: lags behind
Orkhon runes: same
Small kana: need sans-serif here
CJK: collect comprehensive set of characters, scrap obsolete GlyphWiki font at last
Buginese: want serif
Sundanese: lags behind, no historical ligatures
Makasar: need bird style, but not mechanical vectorization
Egyptian hieroglyphs: lag behind
Coptic: need serif

I use Chinese. I also create some ideographs ligature like this (since Monu Hani 8.x(OFL1.1), glyphs are derived from Source Han Sans):
满天心


Small kana? like this?

Ctrl Kana
or
https://github.com/MY1L/Unicode/releases/tag/Hani9 → MonuHani-9.5.otf|ttf

by the way, win10 system fonts already supported small kana u31F0~31FF, so I didn't do it.


I don't know much about Indonesian & Philippine Scripts 😥

Your Unicode font lacks any functionality! This is just a set of glyphs ripped from somewhere.
So I need to check thoroughly where every glyph was taken from.

My UnicodiaSutton is almost glyph-to-glyph copy of Noto SignWriting, and I didn’t even change copyright. But functionality is brand new.

@MY1L , what’s the source of your kana characters? Have you drawn them for yourself?

Your Unicode font lacks any functionality!

So I said “without OpenType feature, deprecated”, “Noto Unicode” designed to surrogate unifont.

one font cannot display over 65535 glyphs, So I gave up functionality (for SignWriting and others)

So I need to check thoroughly where every glyph was taken from.

all records here (in Chinese, excessively long)——
Before ver5: https://github.com/MY1L/Unicode/tree/main/NotoUnicode
v5→6.9: https://github.com/MY1L/Unicode/releases/tag/NotoUni6
v5.901→7.x: https://github.com/MY1L/Unicode/blob/main/NotoUnicode/NotoUni7.md

as above, some glyphs are My original since 2020: ؝𞁊⏻⏼⏽🜁🜃🜍🜿……design principles are “Notolike”.

kana Supp(𛀀𛀁), kana Ext-A(𛄈𛄟𛄠𛄡𛄢), all kana Ext-B are Original.
倭

small “Proportional” kana designed with the コーポレート・ロゴ v1.1(OFL1.1) in mind. I made it in 2020 Apr.
by the way, コーポレート・ロゴ's Weight only Medium & Bold , excludes any small kana Ext, so I drawn “Regular” edition:

and all halfwidth kana:

@MY1L So may I take a few to my Unicodia?

@MY1L Thank you, trying to graft your Min and small kana. I’ll probably make hiero structure for myself from scratch, IDK.

Yes you can.

I'm late😫, my GitHub account lockouts over the past few months, because I can't enable two-factor authentication in Mainland China, it looks like this↓

@MY1L, I have taken. I made 2FA (I looked for an app for several days, stopped on 2FAS). There’s a war in Ukraine, and IDK how to make backup ways. It’s possible that I escape somewhere with empty hands → how to restore?
