Good opportunity to bring awareness to the Standard Galactic Alphabet so we can write code enchanting table style.

Looks like Unicode has something called Private Use Areas which means that this might be possible without breaking something.

Adding the "help wanted" label since I likely won't have time to do this anytime soon, but now that Monocraft is script based it should be way easier to add these glyphs. Someone just needs to do so and figure out the best place in the Private Use Areas that won't conflict with characters like  for example (only visible on Apple products)

For the "best place" to encode them, the UCSUR is probably a good enough reference, which puts them in U+EB40 - U+EB5F.

It's kinda a standard for Constructed Scripts (which are usually not allowed in Unicode), and will probably be where people encode them, if they decide to support them in the first place.

Though that standard does use U+F8FF for something else (Klingon symbol), but to hell with Apple and their attempt to claim a Private Use codepoint anyway.
