Some typographical symbols represent contractions of longer words. "@" replaces "at", "&" replaces "and".
Many small words could be replaced by "letter in circle" glyphs without degrading meaning, like single letter compressions in text messages, while removing ambiguity.
Some, like A, C and R
have been used.
A possible scheme might resemble :
Circle-b = "but"
Circle-f = "for"
Circle-h = "he"
Circle-i = "in"
Circle-m = "me"
Circle-n = "now"
Circle-o = "out"
Circle-s = "she"
Circle-t = "the"
Circle-v = "very"
Circle-w = "we"
Circle-y = "you"
This is not a call-for-list.
That is all.

I think the pharmacists have oodles of these 1 letter abbreviations. Keeps it mysterious. |

You want "fanboys" symbols. |

Why bother with the circle ? none of the examples listed are already used. |

Unicode is already full, so you're better off using existing symbols. Also, this kind of violates the baseline phonetic principle of English, in that pronunciation of these words would need to be memorized. Not a big deal for me and you, but it would make it that much harder for children and other learners. Chinese is notoriously difficult to learn in large part due to the detachment of pronunciation from character, and this idea is basically the Sinofication of English. |

The Unicode "Basic Multilingual Plane" is full, the
supplementary planes are not. |

That PDF loads straight to the second page (which is where
the actual content starts) in my Chrome. Weird. Never seen
it do that before. |
