Ooops, sorry for having totally missed this.

Never heard about Shaw / Shavian alphabet before, I confess — and apparently it’s not listed in XKB either. I’m not sure how that would fit in the [locale_id]([keyboard_variant]) descriptor. Maybe us(shaw)?

"Shaw" is the script code for Shavian. You can see all the script codes here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924

Sure thing, but the way kalamine and <x-keyboard> work is not based on ISO15924 but on XKB, with a locale/variant descriptor. And as far a I know, there’s no Shaw/Shavian layout in XKB yet.

Is it correct to assume Shavian belongs to the US locale ? Or close enough ?

As I understand it, the correct ISO code to specify both a script and a locale would be lang-script-locale. So it would be en-Shaw-US, en-Shaw-GB etc.

But having the locale would only make sense when reading text, not necessarily when writing it, I suppose.

By the way, there are languages like Serbian that have script codes commonly as well. sr-Cyrl and sr-Latn etc
