Kemata uses a script known as Heneka. I've also got scripts for some
other languages that haven't progressed past the early sketch stage
(yet).

I recently discovered that this is actually possible in Heneka, though
more commonly the vowel signs "fuse" with the preceding consonants to
form ligatures.

No null letter. Heneka represents diphthongs with their own signs
(there are only three: ai, ei, oi), and for initial vowels the vowel
signs are used as normal letters. Multiple vowels do not otherwise
occur.
