  check out the multiocular O ꙮ
  this was only used once in a single cyrillic manuscript to spell “many-eyed seraphim”

    And the version of it most apps use doesn’t even have enough eyes. The original text (and the updated since Unicode) has 10-eyed O, while most places display 7. Old Cyrillic texts are pretty wild.

      It’s kind of infuriating that with trouble having been taken defining this single use character, people don’t bother to render it correctly.

  𓂸 𓂹 𓂺 there are hieroglyphs too, and these appear often enough to be included.

    I can’t imagine why or how they would be used very often. /s

  Yeah, most dead scripts have Unicode, specifically because how the hell would you write academic papers about them in this day and age otherwise? Even old Irish Ogham:

  ᚅᚖᚙᚗ

  The line is a convention, because ogham was originally written on the corner of a stone stela.

    Ogham is awesome

    I’ve used it for cryptic languages in TTRPGs before, alongside a few other runic scripts like ᛖᛚᛞᛖᚱ᛫ᚠᚢᚦ︍ᚨᚱᚲ.

    My favorite is Gallifreyan, which doesn’t have unicode, is far too niche and homebrewed to have unicode, and how the hell would unicode even work?
