Counting Is Hard<p>Hear me out.

Runes have the advantages that</p><p>1. There are not too many of them at around 24 depending on flavour.</p><p>2. Many of them correspond to a latin character in a relatively straightforward way, allowing for an additional "sort" of variables per context.</p><p>3. They can be drawn with straight lines in a way that is clear at a range of font sizes and are forgiving to those with poor handwriting (I'm looking at you, ξ)</p><p>4. They come from a dead language, so who's going to complain other than old norse specialists.</p><p>This handles many of the disadvantages of say:<br>Chinese characters (too many, and I know over 2000)<br>Hangul / Kana / etc. (multiple sensible choices for a given consonant)<br>Hebrew / other abjads (none that correspond to vowels)</p><p>Some problems:<br>1. Basically none of you know them. Consult your local tiktok fortune teller for a brief intro</p><p>2. The standard futhark order does not really correspond to latin/greek order</p><p>Edit: 3. Poor font support for Runes. They are at least assigned standard unicode codepoints in the Runic block, so this could be mitigated over time.

Ur Ya'ar<p>TIL: "The use of the symbol ∈ (a stylized form of the Greek epsilon) to denote membership was initiated by the Italian mathematician Giuseppe Peano in 1889. It abbreviates the Greek word ἐστί, which means "is".
