Deseret was very real to those who used it.
I wish they said that to the lady who wrote "The Tale of Genji". She would have given him a VERY ladylike (in my opinion) kick to the face. Hiragana is a conscript.
What is the criterion for "enough of a corpus to put it into Unicode"?
Is it true that some newspapers were published in Deseret?
In any case:
Deseret most likely has a MUCH higher corpus than, say, Ogham. Is this also correct, or do I just need more data and/or sake?
