Elian Script
Elian Script is a form of substitution cipher developed by C.C. Elian. It serves as a calligraphic code, and can be adopted for writing in by a variety of languages. In its current form, any language that uses the Latin alphabet for its script can utilize Elian Script.[1]
Structure[edit]
Specifically, Elian Script is a variation of grid-based codes, such as the pigpen cipher, but was independently created using the 26 characters of the English Alphabet,[2][3] as exemplified in this manner here.
3 grids, each identical in shape to a tic-tac-toe cell, serve as the framework for the cipher. Starting from the bottom left cell in the Grid 1, letters are placed in an upwards direction until the first column is filled. This process repeats on the next column of the grid, again starting from the bottom, moving upwards, and into the next grid when the first one is filled. The letters become new symbols when their standard shape is replaced by the shape of the cell they inhabit on the grid, and modified depending on which grid they inhabit.
- The letters populating Grid 1 take on the basic shape of the cell surrounding them.
- The letters populating Grid 2 keep the basic shape of the cell surrounding them, except one side of the cell is elongated . Any side the writer chooses may be elongated, leading to the potential for multiple symbols to represent the same character.
- The letters populating Grid 3 follow the same rule as Grid 2, but in addition to the elongated side, a dot is added at the end of the elongated segment, with a small space between the elongated segment and dot.
