anyway i’m just saying setting a letter in superscript is a transparent way of encoding additional meaning without making things difficult to read for existing speakers

*puts on orthographic history glasses* but Lady, considering the history of germanic umlaut, don’t you run the risk of the superscript E being further reducᵉd to a simplᵉ diacritic? lik̈ this, for exampl̈?

*takes off glasses* but you see, dieresis on the preceding consonant is already the function silent E is performing

seems completᵉly reasonablᵉ to me

what if we just typᵉd silent E’s in superscript. likᵉ this

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER R WITH LONG LEG, for those curious

the good news is my phone is upgraded to Unicode 16, so those code·points i’ve been using are now recognized as valid code·points instead of as reserved for future encoding. the bad news is that i still don’t have any fonts which support them. the ugly news is that i have now started using code·points which won’t be properly supported until Unicode 18

i was like rock… pounding… rod?

trying to come up with the word “digging bar” is very difficult if you do not know the word “digging bar”
