The Standard Galactic alphabet is an invented alphabet, it is used in several videogame universes to start with Commander Keen, Quake 4 or Minecraft (where it usually renamed alphabet of enchantment, because it appears with the table of enchantment/enchanting table).
Some users have adapted the alphabet to Unicode (in order to better accept copy-paste) but this is a very bad adaptation (the characters are not the correct ones and are very approximate) which is however quite widespread.
The alphabet is composed of symbols with runic inspirations, it is generally presented as a written language (it is mostly an alphabet).
All references to video games, specifically Commander Keen, Quake 4 or Minecraft and its enchantment table, are clues.
In its Unicode version, characters are ᔑʖᓵ↸ᒷ⎓⊣⍑╎⋮ꖌꖎᒲリ𝙹!¡ᑑ∷ᓭℸ ̣ ⚍⍊∴̇/||⨅
The alphabet appears in Commander Keen, a video game released in 1990.
