SPOILER Possible new script/language

While perusing the 2.0.2 resource pack, I found something interesting in the textures/font folder. It's now got separate folders for the special characters, so Wynnic and Gavellian now have their own respective folders. What's most interesting, however, is that there was another folder titled ancient_dogunese, containing just one file, named "1.png":


(Original dimensions are 6x16)

It can't be found or typed ingame, since it misses an entry in the minecraft/font/default.json file. It still might hint at a new script coming in a future update, perhaps paired with other Dogun-related content (DnD rework?). Given the character's complexity, I don't believe the filename is meaningful.

As an aside, I discovered some other cool stuff in the font section of the resource pack. There are three new "markers" that look like a helmet, a liquid emerald and a speech bubble, wynn.png, probably intended to show the game's logo during the tutorial, and fade.png, which when displayed blocks your whole vision. That one replaces the character Á, which is why it is unusable by players. If it weren't, all it would take is one shout containing that character to completely blind the entire server for several seconds.

Edit: I just found out the lobby doesn't filter out that character.

That Dogun symbol is an interesting discovery. Perhaps it is related to the unique patterns on significant Dogun characters.
wynn.png is used to show the Wynncraft title at the top of the esc menu instead of "Game Menu", which was added in the 2.0 update.
fade.png was also added in 2.0, and is used for a subtle but nice transition on the Seaskipper.

 

It's just a text version of some of the Dogunese characters. You can find more on a tablet during the Courag SD in Molten Heights
