Shavian, also known as the Shaw script, is an alphabet devised to represent the sounds of the English language more accurately. It was created posthumously from the will of playwright George Bernard Shaw. Though not widely adopted, it remains of interest to linguistic enthusiasts and has gained support on some computer systems. Unicode, for instance, includes a range for Shavian characters.
