      👐 We’ve made Hyperglot’s database open-source to allow it to grow and enable others to use it. If you spot an issue or notice your favourite language is altogether missing from the database, get in touch. We will happily incorporate your feedback and credit you.

        ☁️ Hopefully, it will help font developers support more languages and perhaps even feed back into mainstream sources used by software developers around the world.
