What language is this and why has the @csswg put effort into understanding aspects of it? P.S. You can't have been or be CSSWG or remotely close to it to answer, or it's not fair 😇👿 #language #learning #FunWithBrains

I wanted to say it was Ogham because of this video... but I realize now that is only because of the arrows: youtube.com/watch?v=2yWWFLI5…

This looks like old south arabian or maybe a predecessor to Ge'ez?

Younger Futhark - as to why @csswg is researching it, not sure. Possibly in reference to using specific characters as ideograms?

Not Younger (or Older) Furthark. Interesting thought about ideograms. But no. :D

Okay, I think I’ve got it. Neo-Etruscan, and @csswg is putting effort into understanding it for possible use in responsiveness, device orientation, and transforms. Or, it’s being researched for more broad support in rendering ancient languages for publishers/scholarly web
