On every trip to Ahmedabad, I am struck by how easily the Gujarati script is moulded into to geometric forms, sometimes abstract enough to stump me and my novice reading skills. Last time around, I noticed this sign for a cycle repair shop that I loved: its compact shapes, gently curved strokes and undulating baseline.

I don’t suppose I know anyone that speaks (reads/writes) ? I’m learning and want to confirm that I did actually manage to figure out how to write the names of my wife and I:

Urvi -> ઊરવી
Gordon -> ગોરદન (I guess this could also be ગોડન?)
Fontenot -> ફૌનતેનો (least confident in this one)
Modh-> મોઘ

 In its original incarnation, the code points U+0A81..U+0AD0 were a direct copy of the Gujarati characters A1-F0 from the 1988 ISCII standard. The Devanagari, Bengali, Gurmukhi, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalamblocks were similarly all based on their ISCII encodings.

Also, does not use the daṇḍa as punctuation mark? I couldn't find it on my SwiftKey keyboard; the character is not even on . I even looked for some Gujarati articles online, hoping that they might be using the Devanagari danda, and they too were using the full-stop or period instead of the daṇḍa.
