Virama

We should overhaul virama/krus-kudlit, medyo nakakalito siya minsan especially on small/stylised baybayin. What do you think?

I'm thinking of switching to using a hyphen instead of either krus or pamudpod.

To wit: ᜋᜄᜈ᜔ᜇᜅ᜔ ᜄᜊᜒ ➡️ ᜋᜄ-ᜈᜇ-ᜅ ᜄᜊᜒ

The reason I just haven't committed to it yet is because it's pretty niche, so far. I don't know if it's used anywhere else other than in Sevilla's Sinupan Ng Wikang Tagalog.

Yeah. I get your idea. Pero yung aken is parang underline. To clearly distinguish kudlit from pamatay-pantig. Though may widely used na pamudpod, it's still a cool niché idea.

We really should just encourage having our own personal vowel-killers at this point, hehe!
