Ru’chu

The Ru’chu script was invented by John Galapon in the summer of 2018. He used it to write his constructed language, Ru’chu, and for artistic purposes, and worldbuilding projects. It cannot be used to write other languages (though one can always try). Ru’chu, as far as its visual qualities are concerned, takes some influence from Thai script, Japanese kana, and Chinese characters.
