ConScript Unicode Registry

The ConScript Unicode Registry is a volunteer project to coordinate the assignment of code points in the Unicode Private Use Areas (PUA) for the encoding of artificial scripts, such as those for constructed languages. It was founded by John Cowan and was maintained by him and Michael Everson. It is not affiliated with the Unicode Consortium.

History
The ConScript Unicode Registry is a volunteer project that was founded by John Cowan in the early 1990s. It is a joint project of John Cowan and Michael Everson. Since 2008, the ConScript Unicode Registry has been largely unmaintained; in 2008, Cowan explained that Everson was too busy to continue maintaining the project. Due to this inactivity, Rebecca Bettencourt founded the Under-ConScript Unicode Registry, aiming to coordinate code points for constructed languages until they can be formally added to the ConScript Unicode Registry. Scripts added to the Under-ConScript Unicode Registry include Sitelen Pona (for Toki Pona) and Cirth. ==Scripts==
