This video shows some ways to write out the word "EXTINCT" in Dscript( dscript.org ). There are several forms i turned out in this video that i liked.
The special EXT combo is quite useful in this word, it allows for a much quicker written form of the three letters and easy connection. As for trying to make the "Extinct Symbol" look somehow representative of extinction, I am not quite sure, but the CT ending, can in many forms, seem quite "terminal", perhaps there is something there.
Dscript( dscript.org ) is a "constructed script". Constructed scripts are invented writing systems. "invented writing system" is most commonly intended to mean "invented in a single generation as opposed to evolving over many generations", natlangs(Natural Language) are what we call languages that have evolved for many generations, conlangs(Constructed language) are what we call the new ones.
Dscript was originally a "directional constructed script", this means it could be written both vertically and horizontally with a single pen stroke design. Over time it evolved into its current form, a "dimensional constructed script" which allows the "letter strings" of the directions script to be wrapped up, contorted, forked, and even have letters placed inside of other letters.
