Do you know alternative scripts for your language? If so, can you talk about them? (lemmy.ml)

I mean scripts like Shavian or Quikscript. Are these script useful to you in your day-to-day life? How are they better than the original scripts of your language?

There's this pretty handy script me and folks around use for numbers, we call it Arabic numerals, even if the Arabs call them "hindian numerals". They're pretty handy. Beats roman numerals at everything but looking classy!

Jokes aside, hope people say which language they're talking about. Mine, Portuguese, doesn't really have alternate script as far as I know, unless you you count the old mobile phone shortened typing as such
