The Iconian script was used by the Iconians approximately 200,000 years ago by the iconian people and is still used today by the Dewan, the Dinassians, the Iccobar and Zibalians. The script has two forms, The standard form which was used for millenia and is still used by the Zibalians, and there's the simplified script which evolved from hand writing and cursive forms. The two scripts were used to write the iconian langauge in tandom for many centuries until the collapse of the iconian empire. The standard script was used more in official documents and monumental inscriptions whereas the simplified script was used in public media and has handwriting.

4 symbols are used to write the four individual vowels /a/, /i /, /u/ adn the neutral vowel or schwa (written e)
54 symbols represent consonant - vowel (CV) syllables.
18 symbol represent individual consonants and consonants either preseeded or followed by the schwa.
27 symbols are used to write VC combinations
