Runic (Elder Futhark), Egyptian hieroglyphs, Phoenician, Braille, and Morse code — ancient writing systems and special-purpose scripts
5 keyboard layouts available
This group is for writing systems that are not a modern national language: two ancient scripts, two codes, and one tactile alphabet. Phoenician is the ancestor most of them share — the Greek, Latin, Cyrillic, Hebrew and Arabic alphabets all descend from it — and it is written right to left as an abjad, recording consonants and leaving the vowels to the reader. Egyptian hieroglyphs and the Elder Futhark are here for study and for decorative use; Braille and Morse are not scripts at all but encodings of one, and they behave differently from every other board on the site.
These five have little in common beyond not being a national keyboard, so pick by what you are actually doing — reading historical text, learning a code, or setting a few characters for a design.
