Tüxzjak

Tüxzjak (or Tüx characters) is the characters used in the logographic writing system used to write any Tüxmälic language. It is said to be invented in 5203 AW, by Saw Meng. A popular legend about the creation exists too.

System
The system of Tüxzjak is based on building characters out of a set of radicals. Radicals come in two types. Major and minor. Dictionaries are usually split up in sorting minor first and major second, and then after stroke count within those categories.



Minor radicals are radicals that are allowed to have half height and exist in either top half or bottom half of a full radical space in conjuction with another minor radical. This formation is known as stacking. Stacking may only happen if it is the 1st radical space, or if the preceding radical space within the same character is also in stacking formation. Other than that, both minor and major radicals only combine into characters successively left to right. This means characters vary in width of up to a factor of 4.

Major radicals (as well as the full form of the minor radicals) is in most fonts aiming for a width to height ratio somewhere between 1:2 and 2:3.

All Radicals
The Tüxzjak system has 96 destinct radicals of which characters can be built.
