Well, Klingon [edit, was proposed] for Unicode. Maybe someone imported some 70s scifi orthography, just because.

- lifthrasiir 5y agoNot yet. Even the 2021 request [1] to remove Klingon from the Not The Roadmap list [2] is in hiatus.

- Freak_NL 5y agoDid it? It was proposed a few times; did the last proposal actually land?
- masklinn 5y ago> Klingon made it into Unicode. No it did not. Klingon was originally proposed in 1997 and rejected in 2001. A second proposal was made in 2016 with more optimistic noises. But AFAIK it has yet to be accepted. It is also, like Tengwar and Cirth (which AFAIK remain unincluded even though they are on the BMP roadmap), held back on IP grounds. To my knowledge, the IP issues remain fully unresolved. Klingon is included in the ConScript registry, but that is unrelated to unicode itself, it performs ad-hoc and non-standard allocations in private use areas.
