自製楔形文字體3.0版
根據新近找到的珍貴材料，結合實際（計劃用橡皮泥+方頭筷子實施），重新製作了新版楔形文字體（3.0版）。
從資料中完全可以理解，美索不達美亞的人們完全就地取材，用取自幼發拉底河與底格里斯河（統稱兩河流域）岸邊的蘆葦做筆，泥土做板，就此成就了人類最古老的文字系統——楔形文字。
手持書寫工具的書吏
Representations of styli for cuneiform script on clay tablets. Detail from the limestone stela VA 7245, possibly dating to the Ur III period, from the mural painting of Til Barsip, ascribed to Šalmaneser V (modern copy), and from Neo-Assyrian reliefs.
[After J. Marzahn – G. Schauerte, Babylon – Wahrheit, 2008, 338 Fig. 257; A. Parrot, Assur, 1961, 278 fig. 348; M. Cammarosano, The Cuneiform Stylus, 2014, 58 fig. 4]
出土的書寫套裝
The Late Bronze Age Ulu Burun dyptich (boxwood, each leaf 9.5 × 6.2 cm), and one of the writing boards from Nimrud (ivory, each leaf 34 × 16 cm).

出土的練習泥板
An Old Babylonian school tablet with a Sumerian proverb and mathematical calculations (UET 6, 0298; CDLI no. P254880). Proverbs and mathematics represented important parts of scribal training.
巨型蘆葦製作的“筆”
Arundo donax (giant reed); possible ways to split the stalk in order to obtain a stylus (drawings by J. Marzahn and A. Bramanti).
盧浮宮製作的3D示意圖

The basic shape of wedge and stylus tip can be abstracted as tetrahedron and polyhedral cone respectively (after 3D-Joins und Schriftmetrologie).
受到以上材料啟發后，重新製作出具有3D造型的第三版字體：
“D、Y、S、O、N”五個字母設計稿
第三代楔形文字體26個字母表
第二代楔形文字體26個字母表
與第二代楔形文字體相比，第三代更加接近文物上的筆畫。當然，也有朋友表示第二代也不錯，既然如此就會同時保留並完善這兩個版本。
至於0-9十個數字，依然還在策劃中，敬請期待。
