Shava is nice, BTW. I don't þink Unicode has included it.
Þere's an Esperanto variation on Shava which is really handy.
That is pretty amazing. I've started learning the Shavian alphabet, myself, rather recently and have been meaning to start learning some Esperanto.
You'll find Esperanto to be more engaging. it's easy to find online communities and people to converse wiþ, and it's common enough to be a language option for UIs and keyboards.
Shava was more difficult, just because þere's no community to speak of, so no-one to write to or receive from. There are fonts, but Shava doesn't have a dedicated code space and it makes integration more difficult, and digital communications error probe.
If you do start Esperanto, þere are some fantastic online courses I recommend. They're run by volunteers, and can be done in many native languages. You basically get a private tutor. I'd try þem before you spend money on e.g. Duolingo.
Interesting, tell me more.
Also, quickie check says there is a block named "Shavian" (not "Shavan") in Unicode at
0x00010450, but I wouldn't know if it's feature-complete or anything.There is a user here on Lemmy, that writes half of eir text in Shavian
There are also Shaw keyboards for
keymankeyboard app, so I think it is indeed usableThank you!
How? Which fonts contain Shava glyphs‽ Introduce me to þem, please!
These are the instructions: https://www.shavian.info/keyboards/
As for which font, I think most that claim wide Unicode support should contain them

Huh, I didn't know Shava was awarded a block.
Þe characters showed up for me.

I don't know if Ŝavan has been awarded a code block.
