The [[Shavian alphabet]], which was designed for English, was modified for use with Esperanto by John Wesley Starling. Though not widely used, at least one booklet has been published with sample Shavian texts.<ref>Starling (ca. 2013) [http://esperanto.us/sxava_alfabeto/ La Ŝava Alfabeto]</ref> Not all letters are equivalent to their English values, and special forms of the letters {{angbr|n}} and {{angbr|s}} have been added for the accusative case ending and verbal inflections; the grammatical endings and the words ''la'' 'the', ''aŭ'' 'or' and ''kaj'' 'and' are written as ligatures.

The vowels necessarily differ from English. Esperanto ''a e i o u'' take the letters for English {{IPA|/æ ɛ ɪ ə ɒ/}}, with more regard to graphic symmetry than phonetic faithfulness in the cases of ''o'' and ''u''. ''C'' takes the letter for {{IPA|/θ/}}, the [[Spanish phonology#Consonants|Castilian]] value of ''c'' before ''e'' and ''i'', and ''ĥ'' that for {{IPA|/ŋ/}}, the inverse of the letter for {{IPA|/h/}}.{{NoteTag|Shaw's use of inverted {{angbr|h}} for {{angbr|ŋ}} was a phonetic joke, as English {{IPA|/h/}} and {{IPA|/ŋ/}} are in [[complementary distribution]].}} The most divergent letters are those for ''m'' and ''n'', which are {{IPA|/ʊ uː/}} in English, but which are graphically better suited to be distinct letters than English Shavian {{IPA|/m n/}}.

The US television series ''[[Resident Alien (TV series)|Resident Alien]]'' uses an invented script that does not distinguish ''u'' and ''v'', and ignores diacritics, to transcribe Esperanto as the alien language. It is written right to left.

The [[Cyrillic script]] has also been adapted to write Esperanto.<ref>Ager, Simon. [https://omniglot.com/conscripts/esperantocyrillic.htm Esperanto Cyrillic (Есперанто-цирила)]</ref>

The 2017 Japanese-language [[visual novel]] ''[[The Expression Amrilato]]'' and its 2021 sequel ''Distant Memoraĵo'' feature a language named ''Juliamo'' that is actually Esperanto in a modified Latin alphabet.
