# output

"𐊓𐊕𐊑𐊏𐊀𐊇𐊀𐊗𐊚"

Validating orthography

The LycianAscii type implements the OrthographicSystem abstraction. You can create an instance with the lycianAscii() function

using Lycian
orthography = lycianAscii()
typeof(orthography) |> supertype

# output

Orthography.OrthographicSystem

Validate orthography:

using Orthography
validstring("prNnawatE", orthography)

# output

true

validstring("Lycian!", orthography)

# output

false
