Description

The Lej characters are used to write Lej.

History of creation

The Lej characters were devised as needed when translating. The list of characters below is from a five-page document derived from the original Lej sources.

Stage 1: Initial creation

LejDocument.scan.10.pngLejDocument.scan.11.pngLejDocument.scan.12.png

Stage 2: Sort by category

LejDocument.scan.5.pngLejDocument.scan.6.pngLejDocument.scan.7.pngLejDocument.scan.8.pngLejDocument.scan.13.pngLejDocument.scan.14.pngLejDocument.scan.15.pngLejDocument.scan.16.png

Stage 3: Collect characters from previous documents

LejDocument.scan.3.pngLejDocument.scan.4.png

Stage 4: Draft character list by ID (incomplete scans)

LejDocument.scan.1.pngLejDocument.scan.2.png

Stage 5: Finalise character list by ID

LejIdeogramList1.pngLejIdeogramList2.pngLejIdeogramList3.pngLejIdeogramList4.pngLejIdeogramList5.png


Phonetic characters

These may or may not be SANS/Stark AlphaNumeric System phonetic letters, I don't remember. Could probably confirm it if I dug through my papers. The time would be about right.

Character Uppercasepair Notes
a A Drawn as single-story A
b B
ʟ
v
ı
ᴎ Actually looks like a reversed lowercase n but that's apparently not in Unicode
ᴀ
ɦ Looks like an h with a line coming straight off it, this is a Unicode approximation
d
n
ꜷ Drawn as single-story A. (Is this the "diphthong connector"?)
ↄ
Lej lowercase Lej uppercase Lowercase Uppercase Notes
Lej2280.png Lej2220.png a A Drawn as single-story A, but might just be because of how I handwrite it
Lej2281.png Lej2221.png b B
Lej2282.png Lej2222.png d D
Lej2283.png Lej2223.png e E
Lej2284.png Lej2224.png ɦ Ƃ Open E. This isn't in Unicode. Both its lower and uppercase forms look like a lowercase h with a horizontal line coming off to the right of the top. The uppercase is just bigger and wider.
Lej2285.png Lej2225.png f F
Lej2286.png Lej2226.png g G
Lej2287.png Lej2227.png (or Lej2245.png?) h H
Lej2288.png Lej2228.png i I
Lej2289.png Lej2229.png k K
Lej2290.png Lej2230.png l L
Lej2291.png Lej2342.png ə Ə Schwa
Lej2292.png ꜷ Diphthong connector. Drawn as a single-story au ligature, it looks like?? Need to find the original paper since the washed-out scan isn't obvious, and the au ligature may be something else.
Lej2293.png Lej2231.png m M
Lej2294.png Lej2232.png n N
Lej2295.png Lej2233.png o O
Lej2296.png Lej2234.png p P
Lej2297.png Lej2235.png r R
Lej2298.png Lej2236.png s S
Lej2299.png Lej2239.png t T
Lej2300.png Lej2240.png u U
Lej2301.png Lej2241.png v Ʌ Not sure if the capital form is a turned U or a turned V, or if it can ever be a normal V
Lej2302.png Lej2237.png ↄ Ↄ
Lej2303.png Lej2238.png c C
Lej2304.png Lej2241.png ʌ Ʌ
Lej2305.png ▵ Not in Unicode. Looks like Ʌ with a line across the bottom. No uppercase?
Lej2306.png ø Not in Unicode. Looks like an O with a perfectly vertical line inside, with no overshoot. No uppercase?
Lej2307.png Ꞁ Not in Unicode. I think it's a small capital T with no right arm.
Lej2308.png Ꞇ Not in Unicode. I think it's a small capital T with no left arm.
Lej2309.png Lej2246.png z Z Drawn with a bar, but I think that's just my handwriting.
Lej2310.png Lej2243.png ƨ Ƨ Not sure if this is the correct Unicode character to use. It's a backwards letter S.
