To save other people the google: Tengwar is probably not in unicode because it is a fictional script from a book.
- bigstrat2003 3y agoHonestly, I wouldn't have thought that would be an issue to the Unicode folks. They have already allowed things (emoji) that have no place being in the standard, as they aren't even text.
- hot_gril 3y agoI feel like Apple pushed the consortium to add a ton of useless emojis for whatever their own reasons were.
- ssokolow 3y agoAccording to a sibling to what you replied to, it's because the shapes of the glyphs are still under copyright by known-litigious rightsholders and the Unicode consortium doesn't want to subject font authors to that.
- hot_gril 3y agoLooks like Georgian
- qwerty456127 3y agoI would wonder how many people are here who have never seen Tengwar. I would bet that's a minuscule minority.
- JohnFen 3y agoI've never even heard of it before.
- red_trumpet 3y agoThat's a higher bar than having seen it, I think. I also had to look it up, but as soon as I saw the images in Wikipedia I knew that it's from Lord of the Rings.
- hot_gril 3y agoIt is. But the even higher bar is that you actually write in this script.
