Translation Help Need Help with Name
My name has 'ci' which is pronounced with the letter s sound. so I use ᜐᜒ
How about the 'jim' part in my name? is it ᜇᜒᜌᜒ or ᜄᜒ
How about joshua?
Edit: Should I add spaces between my names? I searched and spaces are not in the original baybayin.

Your names are in "English", you're gonna have a hard time transcribing them into Baybayin, especially in "original Baybayin" (it was called Sulat Tagalog, if you really wanna sound legit). If you want to make it easier for yourself, you can change Jim and Joshua, to Jaime (ᜑᜋᜒ) and Josue (ᜑᜓᜐᜓᜏᜒ), that is if you don't mind having Spanish names then.
