The Script from Hell is hell to implement, but those who implement it will be ready for all other scripts.
It has:
- 70000 characters, forcing it into three bytes.
- Script joining. You try to script join 70000 characters.
- Furigana. With 70000 characters, you're gonna NEED furigana!! (Yes, script joining AND furigana.)
- A system of numeration with no fixed base. Apples are counted in base 13, while bananas are counted in base 17, except if you have over 289 bananas you use base 12 to count the groups of 289.
- Lists of items (and various other things) are typically handled at right angles from the main direction of writng, which is usually boustrophedon but sometimes an outward spiral.
