Below is the opening page of George Bernard Shaw's play Androcles and the Lion, written in the alphabet that resulted from the contest Shaw established in his will. (A long-time supporter of spelling reform, Shaw hoped the new alphabet would be taught in schools and eventually replace the current English writing system.)
Most alphabets devised specifically for phonetic accuracy, like this one and Bell's Visible Speech, consist of entirely new characters. The International Phonetic Alphabet is different in trying to keep the letters of the Roman alphabet as much as possible.
