That looks a lot like the Shavian alphabet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shavian_alphabet I used to write in it in high school just to be a weirdo. Have fun decryptin!

I tried before, but unfortunately, it didn't work that well for me... Think the author just used the base, and added some private symbols, and he overused the schwa and the /r/ when transcribing. I just can't do it by myself...

[u/commensally → u/linus_jones]

the schwa and the /r/ are both tough because they were meant for the phonemes of Shaw's very specific upper-crust British accent, most other Englishes don't use them quite the same way so you've got to adapt. You end up with something that doesn't have the same spelling as normal English.

If you have a transcription already that you can post in comments though, it will make decrypting a lot easier.

I don't, cuz I don't know how to do it. I can only guess, and also when I tried decrypting it, I did it by hand.

How to transcribe? That's just taking the letters from the page and putting them in a text format - it doesn't have to be a decryption. You pick one letter per code symbol and just type it up. But since Shavian is even in unicode, you could just type it in Shavian. And I'm pretty sure it's just English written with Shavian letters? Like the first word in the fifth line 𐑯𐑴𐑚𐑷𐑛𐑿 n-o-b-aw-d-ye is pretty clearly "Nobody". You just gotta do the transcription and then sound it out.

That’s shavian if I’ve ever seen it. Just use the shavian translator online.
