• Phoenician Unicode Keyboard Layout (PHNX-UKL) · Creator

  Jul 2015 — Present

  The Phoenician Unicode Keyboard Layout or PHNX-UKL is the first Unicode-compliant keyboard layout for the Phoenician Unicode block. Its main feature is the incorporation of the characters commonly used in various ancient Western Asian writing scripts.

  In addition to the above, the Phoenician Unicode block is also compatible with a much earlier script than Paleo-Hebrew / Phoenician which is Ancient Hebrew (a.k.a. Proto-Canaanite; Early Hebrew; Proto-Sinaitic), a pictograph script used from 6000 B.C.E. to 1700 B.C.E. As the Ancient Hebrew script is still being deciphered and might have more glyphs, the Unicode Consortium in the future may assign a separate block for this.

  The Philippines Unicode Keyboard Layout (PH-UKL) is the first Unicode-based keyboard layout made for the needs of the Filipino people. Its main features are the availability of the Philippine Peso currency symbol, the letter Ññ, as well as, the Philippine diacritical marks.

But wait, there’s more! PH-UKL also comes with six (6) other layout variants, namely: Colemak, Colemak-DH, Capewell-QWERF2007, Capewell-QWERF2006, Dvorak, and Capewell-Dvorak.
