Celestial was the script used to write the Celestial language.[1]
Notable Users[]
The Xanathar of the late 15th century DR received a receipt for fish-food for his goldfish Sylgar from Skullport that was written in the Celestial script. It read "Bill of sale Five pounds of premium goldfish food delivered to Skullport for Mr Xanathar".[2]
Xenk Yendar's daggersword bore an inscription on the blade in Celestial reading "Neither Virtue Nor Blade Shall Break."[3]

Celestial script seen glowing on Xenk's sword.
The 5th-edition Celestial script has not yet been officially transliterated to English as with other alphabets like Dethek, Thorass, and Espruar. However, according to Christopher Perkins, here, one has been created, which artist Jason Rainville said was used on the back cover of Xanathar's Guide to Everything, as a receipt for fish food for Xanathar's pet goldfish Sylgar (displayed above).
According to cryptanalysis by "JinxShadow" presented here and here, this can be deciphered and a partial transliteration found, though the letters C, J, Q, W, Y and Z remain unused and unknown.
The only other known use of this Celestial script is on Xenk's sword, seen mostly clearly on this movie poster. This editor deciphered it using JinxShadow's transliteration.
