You’re right. Unifon has been used by the Yurok, Karuk, Tolowa and Hupa
in the 70’s and the 80’s IIRC. Now, they have switched to writing
systems based on the Latin alphabet. I’ve been told that several books
have been printed in their languages using Unifon. However, a few
letters have changed since then.
