Shidinn: U+F1B00 - U+F1C3F

Proposal by Akansuam and Rebecca Bettencourt, 2021-12-14

The Shidinn script and language, also known as Hytin-Aho, xdi8-aho, or xdi8, was invented by Mr. Quefei Huang in his school years in the 1990s. Huang's aim was to reduce homophony in modern Chinese languages; xdi8 can be seen as a coding of Chinese characters that simultaneously retains phonetic and semantic features. Huang devoted his life to teaching xdi8, until he met a friend whose efforts grew the xdi8 community to thousands of users.

Huang's original xdi8 alphabet consists of 46 letters, conventionally numbered 0 to 45. Some of them resemble Roman letters by shape and sound while many do not. In addition to upper and lower case, xdi8 also has a middle case, which is used for initial letters of proper names.

Letters numbered 46 to 88 are extensions added by members of the community. Although only Huang's original letters are part of the language, 46 to 88 are nevertheless well-recognized by the community and have their use in dialects and transliteration of foreign names, etc.
