On m'a fait découvrir cette magnifique écriture créée par @imadetendrilis sur Tiktok, j'adore :blob_cat_flower:

Head·word /ˈhedˌwɜː(ɹ)d/ n.

@ilusenn

This system could easily be expanded to work with diacritics as well. I've quickly sketched some possible shapes. Many diacritics work well in their usual form (dot, umlaut/diaeresis, acute, macron, breve), while others can be changed slightly to fit the aesthetic (grave, circumflex, caron, stroke, tilde, cedilla).

I see, I missed ogonek and comma. Maybe they could be the same shape as cedilla? Does any language distinguish between these?

@headword @ilusenn This is awesome. How about adding an ı and İ respectively? This may be very difficult, because in standard Latin writing we use I as the capital of i. In Turkish for instance, it's İ/i and ı/I.

@lumiukko @ilusenn I thought briefly about the dotless i. Luckily, there are no capital letters in Tendrilis, so we won't need to worry about that.

I think the most elegant solution is to make a different letter for that. Perhaps a dot under the line? That matches well with the other vowels.

@headword @lumiukko @ilusenn capitaliztion could be handled by enlarging the character. Especially nice for artistic use as it ads some variation.
