No, we could just use Ethiopic. Plenty of characters there. We could
even put some logic in the system e.g. by use the vowel parts of the
glyphs to indicate the lower three bits. I'm sure most people would
learn quickly. And if we used Ethiopic letters to define Unicode symbols
it might stop some people complaining that Unicode isn't African enough.
