=== Characters ===
The twenty-five known letters in the women's script can be arranged into five sets of five letters each. Each set is defined by the basic shape of the characters within it: the "vowel set" is a vertical line, the "T set" is a curved triangle pointing to the left, the "S set" is a curved triangle pointing to the right, the "P set" is a curved diamond, and the "K set" is a jagged triangle pointing to the left.
 
Many letters are not in the alphabet, so substitutes must be used. "C" is replaced with "K", "W" is replaced with "U", "F" is replaced with "PH", "Q" is replaced with "K U", and "X" is replaced with "K S". There are individual letters for sounds that require two letters in English, such as ʃ, tʃ, θ and ð. {{url ref|url=https://aclay.github.io/stormlight-womens-script/|text=A site that can generate Women's Script from English|site="Women's Script Generator"|date="2023-06-05"}}
Within each set the characters are defined by height and the addition of shorter lines. The first character is the maximum height, the second is two-thirds the height of the first, and the third is one-third the height of the first. The fourth is the same height as the second with the addition of two short lines to the right, and the fifth is the same height as the third with the addition of one short line to the right.
