A place for the discussion and sharing of Elian works, both original and found elsewhere.
What is Elianscript? It’s an alternative writing system whose properties combine the linearity of spelling with the free-form nature of drawing.
It’s also kind of like a weak cipher, to those not in the know. Similar to a pigpen cipher, but instead of randomly jumbling the letters, we all agree to do it alphabetically. That way everyone IN the know, can read it.
Full instructions can be found here.
What about numbers? In this community we prefer to use Arabic numbers. Using other systems is fine so long as you post an explanation of how to translate them.

what is it supposed to say? doesnt appear legible at all
Definitely legible, just difficult. Read from top to bottom, left to right. First letter is h.
The C is an H?
Correct! This is a cypher like writing style similar to pig pen.
This is the key to the code.
Or you could try one of the other more standard puzzles in this sub to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
Usually it's more squared off. It's harder when it's rounded like the example in this post.
OH i totally misunderstood. thanks!
No worries!
