Personal anecdote, but since Ogham has been available in Unicode, I've seen the odd person start being interested in it to write out names, exclamations, etc. It feels like a small previously-closed gate has been opened for a nice little way for people to connect and engage with an old part of our culture.

Oh, that's wonderful, actually! Between my perception of its rarity, and the seeming ability to easily represent it with vector graphics of straight lines, I figured it was a laudable target but I see that it isn't. After all, the idea of a niche script getting more attention because of its inclusion in Unicode is exactly what I'm all excited about.

I'll happily replace Ogham, in future rants, with that fucking multiocular O mentioned in a sibling to the parent.
