        Have you by any chance looked at Hangul? While its parts are not
combinatoric per se, they do "combine" to form syllables that are both
beautiful in shape and easy to read. However, I am of the opinion that Hangul
is a fluke, for it has been the model for many constructed scripts that have
all failed to capture its artistic sense. If anyone knows of another
Hangul-like script that they judge artistic, let me know.
