I see letters which vaguely resemble LotR moon runes, or elf runes, or whatever those were called.

The first two are from the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc, the rest are from the Elder and Younger Futhark. I was trying to figure out if there's default support for runes, for reasons, but I'd gone out of my way to get support for literally everything at some point in the past and couldn't tell on my own. The answer seems to be "sometimes."

Well, they work for me.

Same.

Is this working for anybody?

[Comrade P.]

Is this working for anybody?

Works from here.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Is this working for anybody?

I'm on mobile, so no.

[Aklyon]

Is this working for anybody?

With some lag on characters showing up, yes.

[Tawa]

Dang. Nothing happens for me except for the appearance of the text input bar.

Any ideas why? I have Javascript enabled and changing browsers doesn't seem to do anything.

Are there any religions of decent size, other than Catholicism, that have a single official leader for the whole faith? I was trying to think of an equivalent to the Pope, but then couldn't.

[Arx]

The Jewish High Priest in Ye Olde Days would be more or less equivalent. I'm pretty sure the office isn't current, though.

[Frumple]

The Dalai Lamas might be closer to it than most.

I'm guessing that things like "Jesus", "Buddha" or "Muhammed" don't count?

Afraid not. I'm looking for a position of leadership within a religion, that is filled by a person who is alive at the time.

Ye Olde Days are just fine, thanks.

The Dalai Lamas might be closer to it than most.

Not exactly leadership, but it is something I guess. Cheers.

[Tack]

Yeah, also "non-leadership live religious figures" might include the Tarun-Matara? (Or however the Nepalese girl-god is spelt)

Who oversees the Mosque at Mecca? Is it a council or sommat?

[Arx]

There's the Caliph for Islam, but I seem to recall that being a position plagued by election weirdness and random monarchs claiming to be the Caliph.

[Comrade P.]

There are also patriarchs in Orthodox Christianity. They are territorially bound, though. Like, there is Serbian patriarch, and then there is Russian patriarch. Historically Russian one has more influence over Orthodox Church, I believe, but I don't really know.
