been feeling like i gotta transcribe ä (front) and a (back) separately lately but i can't find a good symbol for the former, ⟨æ⟩ is really visually loud and i like keeping ⟨ä⟩ free for umlaut/'this is an imala'd /a(ː)/ but i don't care about its quality hence just ä/ǟ' purposes, any obvious misses?
actually the hamza rules are in/famous whereas i would bet 99% of people (was about to typo that as 9+% which also true) who write in english today are either "doesn't know it exists" about the en dash or "knows but don't cares"
a bet i trivially win by gerrymandering the world population* to bring that group to exactly 99% pay up
(*along literacy lines instead of geography)
