API -scripts language unicode
WorldAnvil currently supports a great deal of Unicode characters, including obscure scripts like Vai, Syriac, and traditional Mongolian, but lacks support for other, historical scripts, such as Old Italic, Lydian, Gothic, Phoenician, and Cuneiform.
For people who enjoy creating languages and a diverse breadth of languages in their worlds, a panoply of different scripts can be quite helpful in differentiating languages and helping to illustrate a language's history and relations between languages and cultures through their use of certain scripts.
Those who wish to embed spellings of actual historical words in their articles would also benefit. For example, perhaps in explaining the historicity of the Trojan War, someone wants to include the names of the Greeks (akhaiwoí in Greek, and ahhiyawa in Hittite) and wishes to embed the original spellings in Linear B and Hittite Cuneiform, respectively.
