The Glaitha-A script was created by Rebecca Bettencourt as part of her fictional Mika culture and the fictional city of Mika City. Glaitha-A was used a long time ago to write Mikiana, before English became more common; at that point the Roman alphabet was used to write Mikiana. "Glaitha" is the Mikiana word for "handwriting." Glaitha-A is used mainly to write Mikiana, but can be used to write any language written in the Roman alphabet. 8 columns are used to encode Glaitha-A.
The Glaitha-A script is an alphabet written left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Eight punctuation marks are used similarly to Latin punctuation marks. Numbers are written left-to-right in base ten with the least significant digit on the right. Six special glyphs can be used for the numbers 10-15.
In written text, the rightmost strokes ending near the baseline of the letters A, AU, E, I, L, M, X, a, e, i, j, k, l, and m may join with the leftmost strokes near the baseline of the letters I, J, L, M, M̃, N, Ñ, NG, S, i, j, l, m, m̃, n, ñ, ng, and s. Whether or not this is implemented in Unicode is interpretation-dependent.
The Glaitha-A block is divided into the following ranges:
U+E900 -> U+E907 8 Punctuation marks U+E908 -> U+E90F 8 currently unassigned U+E910 -> U+E919 10 Glaitha-A digits U+E91A -> U+E91F 6 Glaitha-A numbers U+E920 -> U+E943 40 Glaitha-A capital letters U+E948 -> U+E94F 8 Supplemental capital letters U+E950 -> U+E973 40 Glaitha-A lowercase letters U+E978 -> U+E97F 8 Supplemental lowercase letters
