Tahano Veno, also known as Tahano Nuvenon, Ayeri Vine Script, or Ayeri Ornament Script, was invented in April 2004 by Carsten Becker. It was originally intended to be used as a script for artistic purposes in his invented language, Ayeri, but was later discarded for that purpose. More information can be found on its Omniglot page.
Nuvenon is a font for Tahano Veno created in February 2010 by Rebecca Bettencourt. The original version only supported an ASCII mapping.
In July 2022, Nuvenon was updated with a Private Use Area mapping and property data, optimized, and relicensed under the OFL.
Lowercase letters produce Tahano Veno characters in the normal orientation, while uppercase letters produce vertically mirrored versions. The ng/ŋ letter can be typed with Q/q (and/or Ŋ/ŋ in the new version). Long vowels are mapped to vowels with diaeresis (ä ë ï ö ü) and “variable vowels” (part of Ayeri’s verb morphology) are mapped to vowels with grave (à è ì ò ù). C/c produces an empty space while X/x produces an extension to the “vine.”
