Shavian

U+10450 – U+1047F   (66640–66687)

The Shavian range was introduced with version 4.0 of the Unicode Standard and is located in Plane 1 (the Supplementary Multilingual Plane). Windows XP and later versions support supplementary characters by default. In Windows 2000, you need to enable support for supplementary characters. These characters cannot easily be displayed in earlier versions of Windows.

The Shavian script is named after George Bernard Shaw, who left money in his will for a competition to produce a new alphabet for the English language. The winner was Kingsley Read, and his script is caseless and has letters that are carefully designed to represent the sounds of spoken English.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode font Andagii, Code2001, ESL Gothic Unicode, EversonMono and MPH 2B Damase.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10450.pdf.
