That could indicate that the problem might be with a single source for
all these news stories. On the other hand, this is a very common
mistake, I've found, and this second article seems to show

| accurate:

This was a rather interesting article. Note that it also calls Nushu a
'calligraphy'. This snippet is also interesting:

"Women formed their own written symbols to represent the words in
their local dialect. Hence men can usually understand nüshu if they
hear it read aloud."

In other words, it seems that they understand the situation well
enough that if they knew of the concept 'script' they would just have
applied it without further ado. As indeed they do in the following
paragraph.
