How do they need to be written down to achieve a conditional character entropy that's well under 3, while at the same time working with a very limited alphabet?

Hi Koen,
Jorge mentioned the VIQR writing system for Vietnamese. Years ago, I processed a file that was on Jorge's site (VIQR version of the Pentateuch) and I measured a conditional entropy of about 2.2. See also my 06/07/2020 comment on your post here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.

Here is a plot I computed at that time. I am far from sure that these results are accurate...
