AR notes: conscript to go with the conlang

Once upon a time I decided to pick Lojban as AR’s international auxiliary language because it was not Euro-specific and hadn’t been created for someone else’s work of fiction (not that there’s anything wrong with those things, I just wanted something international that was actually “international” and I didn’t want to poach someone else’s conlang that had been done for their thing, but one that was constructed just for fun/to use was okay :P). I was also rather lazy had lots of stuff to think about and Lojban had the easiest alphabet to deal with (ascii which is not exactly “neutral” but is a standard).

Several years later (now) I’ve been thinking I probably need a neutral/universal conscript to go with my neutral conlang. Poked at the constructed scripts for conlangs section on Omniglot and picked World Unity Alphabet mostly on appearance (I can probably write it without it becoming unrecognisable), partly on the name, partly because at a glance I think I can map lojban onto it maybe without screwing it up too badly (I have little-no idea what I’m doing :) and a lot because sourced from all over.

Problem is I can’t find an existing font for it so may have to make one.
