Vulcan written language

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Vulcan_language seems like a good starting point.
The Memory Alpha page provides most of the answers. Plenty of examples of phrases and writing there.
Also, there's a reference to the Vulcan Language Institute that has made up their version of the Vulcan language, consistent with the examples but not really authoritative in the sense that future episodes or movies would be using that version. What superfan Dorothy Jones Heydt came up with may have to yield to what Trent Pehrson has recently done with the Romulan language for official onscreen use in the ST:PIC show. The two languages may be intimately related, after all.
Or then not. The jury is still out on what exactly we should think of the 2009 movie scene where a communications officer can't tell Vulcan apart from Romulan.
Ah, ninja'ed... But Vulcan is a language that has not been designed yet, not for onscreen purposes; it only exists as an empirical collection of random bits and pieces, of which a fan model of the language has been derived but not put to onscreen use yet. It has merely spawned the thoroughly designed Romulan language, a construct supposedly as complex and comprehensive as the Klingon language.

I would look into VLI,if Anything webpages come up.
There's a fan-made written Vulcan language and it's quite beautiful. I know people with tattoos of it and a friend got me a ring with "what is, is" engraved on it in Vulcan script.
Here you go. Searching "Vulcan Calligraphy" yields other sites, script generators and font sets, too.
What do you need them for?
