The ConScript Unicode Registry is a volunteer project to coordinate the assignment of code points in the Unicode Private Use Areas (PUA). Why does tengwar have to be in the PUA, why not make it a first-class charset? It's not just a minor conlang a small group of geeks invented on a weekend, it's a well-established piece of the modern culture, isn't it?
