Why is it everyone has a favorite color but no one has a favorite letter, or are there others who have a favorite letter too? Can i really be the only writing nerd?

@freemo
My favourite letter is Φƒ. I always use it whenever I need to introduce a variable for a quantity with no standard notation.

@timorl What letter is that exactly? That one is new to me. Would be fun to try it with calligraphy.

@freemo
It's piwr from the Armenian alphabet. I recommend the whole alphabet too, it looks like a version of the Greek one that is just different enough to be interesting.

@timorl I've been really appreciating some of the languages I've been seeing from the new Indian users. I think it was Tamil that was the pretty one but im not sure.

@freemo
Tamil is really pretty, but I thing any writing using the Modi script is the most beautiful. The line that connects all the letters so that they hang of it is just so pleasing. :amaze:
Unfortunately I have never seen it "in the wild".

I should point out that the Armenian alphabet is from Georgia, so me mentioning it is not a result of that migration. ;) Although I agree the new perspectives are nice!

@timorl Mode to me looks alien, and as such VERY cool. But I dont describe it so much as beautiful as it is intriguing to me.It has an otherworldly beauty to it to me foreign eyes.
