Wikipedia: The Shavian alphabet (also known as Shaw alphabet) is an alphabet conceived as a way to provide simple, phonetic orthography for the English language to replace the difficulties of the conventional spelling. It was posthumously funded by and named after Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. Shaw set three main criteria for the new alphabet: it should be (1) at least 40 letters; (2) as "phonetic" as possible (that is, letters should have a 1:1 correspondence to phonemes); and (3) distinct from the Latin alphabet to avoid the impression that the new spellings were simply "misspellings".Ŝava alfabetoAn adaptation of Shavian to another language, Esperanto, was developed by John Wesley Starling; though not widely used, at least one booklet has been published with transliterated sample texts. As that language is already spelled phonemically, direct conversion from Latin to Shavian letters can be performed, though several ligatures are added for the common combinations of vowels with n and s and some common short words.

Update for android 11
The app itself works great, it's just a shame there isn't proper support for this part of unicode in android yet (they often just appear as boxes), and when unicode provides quikscript support, it'd be great if you could add the modified characters. Thanks for providing the only app to write shavian too.
But it's not laid out the way many of us have come to adopt while using Windows… so finding the right letters takes a while and isn't easy.
I don't own a computer anymore, just a android phone and windows 10 tablet. I'm thrilled I can finally type I'm Shavian on something, can't get my windows tablet to do anything, but I can here. Problem is, seems I can ONLY do it here. Does anyone know any android word processors this work on? I'm wanting to make PDFs to sell on kindle, but can't do anything with it in it's current form. If anyone knows a workaround, let me know here, will check back occasionally. I'm facing the ugly prospect of photographing notebooks and putting images in a PDF to substitute for not being able to type in a word processor. Nobody wants a eBook like that. Otherwise, absolutely amazing app.
I can't give it more than 1 ⭐. It doesn't work for Android 11. I understand you can't always continue to update it for every OS update, but isn't there a way to mark it as not compatible so people don't download it only to find out that it doesn't work?
