Convert letters rather than inventing a language
The symbols replace the 26 English letters; they do not translate the meaning into a new spoken language. Write your intended English sentence first, then convert its spelling. This distinction is useful when reading a copied rune message: decoding reveals the underlying letters, while understanding the phrase still depends on the language used by its author. The Minecraft Enchanting Table Translator returns lowercase letters when reading runes because this mapping does not preserve letter case.
The main box accepts A–Z, digits and ordinary keyboard punctuation. Accents and vertical bars are rejected rather than producing an ambiguous encoded message.
