@t[Letters Missing from Unicode]~~META:date created = 2014-11-08~~

Unicode has many letters, no doubt. There are more than 700 Latin letters with diacritic, for example. Like ă, ċ, ņ, ŵ and even ṏ. But there are heaps of letters in existence that were missing from Unicode. I’ve started collecting them when working on TESZ, and now it’s time to show them. Most of them are Latin, with a few Cyrillic and Greek.
The collection starts with some letters from Uralist and other phonetical use. Only a few.

20 connecting bows of different sizes (letters aren’t part of the character).
If I was counting right, this is 968 characters. What you’ve seen so far was collected and designed by linguist Mártonfi Attila.

Extending his collection, I had to draw a few more characters for TESZ. These aren’t sorted so nicely, they come as they were needed during the work, and many of them aren’t designed very carefully, especially superscript and subscript characters. What I needed is to //have// them, not to make them nice.
