EDIT: Added punctuation, along with the Gothic, Phoenician, Comstock and Tic-Tac-Toe code alphabets. And a sexagesimal (base-60) number system. Yay.

I've always wondered what the smallest field was that could hold the letters of a large number of writing systems. As it turns out, at least so far, it's 7 pixels by 7 pixels (not counting diacritics, which extend beyond that). So, after countless hours of painstaking pixel-by-pixel calligraphy, this massive... thing... is ready to show off.

Currently, it holds:

-A set of various punctuation marks, including some weirder ones like the irony mark.

-The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabary, which I just found out is used for Cree, Ojibwe and Inuktitut. I have to thank for me wanting to put this one in.

-The Cyrillic alphabet, optimized for Russian. Note that the Russian equivalent of the letter D goes outside of the 7x7 boundary due to its odd design. This gave me a huge hassle until I altered the template's actual shape to its current one. Also present are some of the older letters that were phased out several hundred year ago.

-Futhorc, the Anglo-Frisian system of runic writing. Runes are a hassle because there exist so many systems of runes that it was difficult to find a rigidly-ordered, well-known set. But I found one, AND I managed to fit them into the 7x7.

-The Gothic alphabet, a very strange one if I do say so.

-The Greek alphabet, optimized for Modern Greek. Five of the older letters, along with the Coptic letters, are there too.

-Katakana for Japanese. Katakana is easier to implement than hiragana or kanji, and while it was difficult, I finally got it. If anybody notices one not looking right, please tell me.

-The Latin alphabet, optimized for English, along with ampersand, ash, ethel, the Claudian letters and other characters for extended Latin. Even eszett. Yay, German!

-The Phoenician alphabet, one of the oldest in existence.

-Alternate systems for writing in English, including Braille, the Comstock system, Dscript, Interbet, the Moon system, flag semaphore, Simlish, the Tic-Tac-Toe cipher, Unifon and a weird one came up with years ago.

-Symbols for astrological bodies and zodiac signs.

-Eight gender symbols that I found on the internet. The same person also made a language called Rayalaka, which will be added eventually.

-Solresol, the language based on musical tones. Comes in two of the posited forms: Shapes and heights.

-The Visual Alphabet. Not associated with an actual language. The last symbol, cloud, was kind of a chore.

-Numbering systems, including Asian-style dice, dominos, dozenal (in three different styles), the Fluorite Octet from Homestuck, Mayan, Miwin's dice, Roman numbers and sexagesimal.

-Vorci, Hato, Ieieshe and N'nuk'ka, four of the alien languages in Life Unlimited.

-Life Unlimited, translated into Russian and Chinese. (The symbol for "life" is the second one. It means "life force", but the vertical stroke near the top was added for a slight pun, because the character for "life" has that stroke, while the very similar top part of the character for "life force" does not.)

-Two symbols that I have no use for yet.

As it says, feel free to test the system for yourself. There's a reason why it's public. Enjoy.
