Had to look this up, and the answer's theoretically yes if it was modified a bit. I'd need to double the glyphs in the font to cover all of ASCII and all the APL-specific syntax (using this IBM table of GCGIDs as a guide) and do a little unicode editing to cover the different dialects. It probably wouldn't take me too long to do if I made the new glyphs by flipping/rotating the old ones. The downside is, only ASCII and APL characters would appear as the angel-sealing glyphs; anything else would probably appear in a system font.

Can I use these to write APL code?

That's a significantly more helpful answer than my comment deserved. Thanks! I'll try it out next time I want something truly visually interesting.
great, funky stuff !
My friend sent me the opening text of Bee Movie encoded in this in a pdf file (aptly) named "powerful magic spells"

A powerful curse, that's for sure.
Looks fantastic.
Thank you!
