Paleo Codage: A machine-readable way to describe cuneiform characters paleographically

This website uses JavaScript to allow the user to describe their cuneiform characters using PaleoCodage, a system to describe the shape of cuneiform characters.
The system is described in detail in the following short paper publication:
Paleo Codage - A machine-readable way to describe cuneiform characters paleographically The result of the description can be saved as a PNG image, as SVG or can be incorporated into an OpenType font.
Similar to the implementation at https://symbolset.com,
the font can be used to replace modified cuneiform transliteration texts with correct sign variants defined in PaleoCodage which is demonstrated above.
