Bicameral script
Are there any bicameral abjads, abugidas or syllabaries? --40bus (talk) 19:19, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Letter case lists some bicameral scripts beside the familiar ones. Most are modern alphabetic systems, but it includes the Cherokee syllabary: that article says "In 2015 the Unicode Consortium encoded a lowercase version of the script, since typists would often set Cherokee with two different point sizes, so as to mark beginnings of sentences and given names (as in the Latin alphabet). Handwritten Cherokee also shows a difference in lower- and uppercase letters, such as descenders and ascenders. Lowercase Cherokee has already been encoded in the font Everson Mono."
