Typying Figlyphs Inside the Wiki

Consistently typing in Figlyphs only works when editing a page in the wiki. A playground page is available when it's needed to test out in Figlyphs.

Basic Text

To type Figlyphs inside the wiki, you must start the text with -:: and end with ::-.

  • Example: Typing -::Hello World!::- will result in Hello World!.

Stacked Characters

Figlyphs contains stacked letters as well, to create combinations of them, all you have to do is to encase two lower-case letters between [ and ].

※ Stacks will only work with consonant + vowel and vowel + vowel combinations.

  • Example: Typing -::[he]l[lo] [wo]rld!::- will result in l rld!.

Typying Figlyphs Ouside the Wiki

To have Figlyphs outside, you must download the font provided below, install the font and use said font in the text editor. All basic characters are mapped equal to the basic english alphabet. To use stacked characters and other symbols, use the corresponding characters to type the glyphs themselves or copy and paste the result from the wiki to your text editor of your choice.

※ In Unicode, all of the stacked characters and glyphs are placed in the Private Use Areas (PUA) code point range.
