	Shavian alphabet -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Proponents of traditional Shavian, however, have suggest that Kingsley Read may not have intended for this system to be all-encompassing, though it seems that vertical placement alone served this purpose in an earlier version of Shavian, before the rotations were introduced.
		An adaptation of Shavian to another language, (An artificial language based as far as possible on words common to all the European languages) Esperanto, was developed by Ĝan Ŭesli Starling (John Wesley Starling); though not widely used, at least one booklet has been published with transliterated sample texts.
		Shavian is encoded in plane 1 of (Click link for more info and facts about Unicode) Unicode, from U+10450 to U+1047F, but appropriate fonts for Unicode Shavian are rare.

		For those of you interested in being able to create and/or read Shavian documents encoded in Unicode, you need to augment your computer system because unfortunately at this time Shavian is not so widespread that it is built in to any system of which I am aware.
		However, each operating system basically requires a font to represent the Shavian characters (Font), a way to ensure the font is properly used when the Unicode characters are encountered (Rulebook), and a way to cause Unicode characters to be generated when typing (Input).
		The first font I encountered for Shavian with characters encoded at Unicode points which also provided for Latin characters as well was created by Phillip Driscoll and I would like to thank him for permitting to keep a copy of that here.

	Shavian Alphabet
		The Shavian alphabet is named after George Bernard Shaw and was devised by Kingsley Read.
		Shaw saw use of the Latin alphabet for writing English as a great waste of time, energy and paper, so in his will he stipulated that a competition should be held to create a new writing system for English and made provision for a prize of £500.
		Few other texts were printed and the alphabet, which became known as Shavian, was never seriously considered as an alternative for writing English.

	Proposal to Add Shavian to Unicode
		The alphabet finally selected was designed by Kingsley Read and is variously known as Shavian, Shaw's alphabet, and the Proposed British Alphabet.

		The proposed location for the encoding of the Shaw alphabet is on Plane 1, off the BMP, and in the same block as the Deseret Alphabet.
