The Ʒ ʒ character
The preferred shape of the letter Ʒ ʒ is not like the IPA ezh, but like the Insular G, ᵹ (\u1D79), the capital version of which however is not adopted in Unicode yet. I use Ʒ ʒ (ezh) provisionally since the capital version of Insular G is not adopted in Unicode yet, and the small letter also is missing from most Unicode fonts. The preferred shape is shown in this image:
It should be noted that in NAS this letter denotes the phoneme /dʒ/ and not the phoneme /ʒ/ which is written zj, except before ý where it is written z, e.g. vizjn, azýr.
Alternative graphies
Letters with acute diacritics may be replaced with digraphs as follows á > aa, é > ee, í > ij, ó > eo, ú > ou, ý > yy, œ > oe, ů > uo, å > oa.
Þ, þ may be replaced with Th th, Ʃ ʃ may be replaced with Sh sh and Ʒ ʒ may be replaced with Cg cg or Gj gj.

Alternative vowel glyphs
| Ɩɩ | kit |
| Ɛɛ | dress |
| Aa | trap, father |
| Ɔɔ | lot |
| Λʌ | strut |
| Ee | fleece |
 |
face |
| İi | price |
| Ƣƣ | choice |
| Uu | foot, goose |
| Oo | goat |
| Ɯɯ | mouth |
| Yy | cute |
One way would be to use ,
for trap and father but ordinary A, a for face (withas cursive form), likewise , for cute and Y, y for strut — but you need to have Cardo or Junicode installed for those characters to be seen! It's all a service to the Anglo terror diacriticorum: if nearly all other languages uses diacritics, then why not English?
