It's homeland is greately debated but generally most people agree that it was soley pictographic, and started being used inbetween around Bongsibon and Ëndaija.

Radicals and reading them

Ukilen logographs typically are read from left to right, top to bottom in the character. The stroke order usually follows this as well.

Traditional

Traditional Ukilen has far less characters compared to the logography, mostly only equivalents to the modern radicals, but is much more complex in how it conveys the same ideas that modern Ukilen logographs conveys. Traditional Ukilen is debated to be the original form of the modern characters, but it is argued that they actually evolved from an even earlier version of the writing system due to certain quirks specific to the writing system that are shared with earlier mostly undeciphered Ukilen writing systems. Traditional Ukilen nowadays is only used for aesthetic reasons, but historically it was used in Jkawi and Charlia as well.
