The Derani alphabet (Toaq: Mí Deranı) is the official native writing system of Toaq, first introduced in Toaq Delta. It is the successor of Hoelai.
Unicode encoding
To type Derani characters, we use the block EDB0–EDDF of the Unicode Private Use Area. A font capable of displaying these characters is in progress.

Use of the combining characters follows Unicode convention, with tone marks appearing immediately after the letter they attach to, and the diphthong mark appearing between the two letters it attaches to.
