♦ is an alphabet of sixteen characters. Each character is expressed as 4 bits and has a ternary bias. Furthermore, each character has properties that allow it to be mapped to a subset of English text.
♦ was invented by user:David.werecat as an alternative alphabet to write esoteric languages. The actual page for the alphabet can be found here: ♦

The number in the English mapping is the value of the character when in that subset.
