The research is a lot of fun. Can’t wait till I get Ken’s book next week. > Apparently, the earlier typeface *did* include all forty letters; it just > didn't use these two. I don't know what glyphs were used. What I understood is that typefaces included the letters but there’s no *chart* that contains both 1859 letters. Ken transcribes into modern type a letter by Shelton dated 1859, in which “boy” is written 𐐒<𐐃𐐆>, “few” as 𐐙<𐐆𐐋>, “truefully” [sic] as 𐐓𐐡<𐐆𐐋>𐐙𐐋𐐢𐐆, and “you” as 𐐏<𐐆𐐋>. Fascinating stuff.
