A script (cypher?) I made which separates letters into groups in an unusual way. It's also monospaced, visually at least.

What are those weird no-width characters!? The rectangular vowels of Onno - ⊐◻⊔⊏⊓ꘌ॥ᒧᒣᒪᒥ, corresponding to AEIOUYÜÅÄÖÉ - are actually supposed to go around the non-vowels to their right. Ex: for the word "⊐ⴲ╱", it should be written so "⊐" is big, and contains "ⴲ╱". For multi-vowel words like "◻⊐ꕕⴱ", "◻" contains "⊐", which in turn contains "ꕕⴱ". In order to construct these large vowels that can contain other characters, and even other large vowels, the no-width characters exist.
