Hanákana is a Universal Writing System, backed by a JavaScript library installable through NPM, to transform an ASCII representation of text into the native font.

If you learn this set of 30 or so symbols (70 or so with sound tones and slight sound variants), you can read and write in any language. It also serves as a translation framework for any app.
