Well, in the first incarnation of Ikanirae Seru, there was a version
that could be written in Japanese characters... kanji were chosen
simply by their phonetic values, and katakana were used where that
failed.

I also have a fictional "diary entry" (from when I was about 12)
written in a spur-of-the-moment ideographic script/language -  all I
ever invented of the language was this fictional diary entry of a
character stranded on a desert island, and it was written in ideograms
and glossed in English -  I never invented any pronunciations.

I'm currently thinking it would be neat to see if I can start to make a
language based on ideograms used in this part of the world -  e.g.
octagon for stop, red circle with slash for prohibition, hourglass for
waiting.
