Yes!  Exactly! :-) (I would not know exactly the position of the
palatalisation dot, but is reads perfectly.)

Well, almost exactly, but I did not give you enough information: there
are additional helping dots that fill the space to give the eye the
possibility to identify the exact position of the strokes even when
there's only one glyph on a large piece of paper.

The helping dots in Tyl Sjok are inserted in the middle of one
of the eight sub-squares:

..  *.
..  ..
*.  ..
..  ..

And the palatalisation dot is exactly *on* line 18.  But that may
change, I'm not sure whether I like it.

Another thing: The characters are written in square boxes with space
in between, so they are too close.  The left half of the box is
reserved for the radicals, which is a semantic part.  I did not finish
all ~200 radicals needed for writing, though.
