It would be great to have an option for typing in tengwar. Of course, we can always just type in tengwar:

      

But then, the correct display is up to anybody who reads the post.

    Of course, the encoding is the real challenge, since tengwar isn’t included in unicode. If you have the patience for LaTeX and thus not actually typing in tengwar, but instead stuff like /Toore/TTthreedots/TTdorbelow, you can get very precise layout with the TengwarScript LaTeX package (https://ctan.org/pkg/tengwarscript?lang=en)

      If we agree on a PUA encoding, a CSS solution is possible. It is what Tecendil does (e.g.    or a few message boards (e.g. tolkienforum.de or sindarin.de). But I do not know whether custom CSS is possible here.

      Otherwise, browsers can be tweaked to apply the custom CSS that allows displaying PUA tengwar. That is of course less ideal since it requires tech-savy user interaction before the tengwar can be read.
