Template:Short description 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.[1] It was founded by John Cowan and was maintained by him and Michael Everson. It is not affiliated with the Unicode Consortium.[2]

History

The ConScript Unicode Registry is a volunteer project[3] that was founded by John Cowan[4] in the early 1990s. It is a joint project of John Cowan and Michael Everson.[4]

Historically, it was hosted on both Cowan and Everson's websites (branded as the North American and European sites, respectively); in 2002, the site was transitioned to be hosted exclusively on Everson's site.[5][6]

Script error: No such module "anchor". Script error: No such module "anchor". Since 2008, the ConScript Unicode Registry has been largely unmaintained; in 2008, Cowan explained that Everson was too busy to continue maintaining the project.[7] 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.[8] Scripts added to the Under-ConScript Unicode Registry include Sitelen Pona (for Toki Pona)[9] and Cirth.[10]

Scripts

The CSUR and UCSUR include the following scripts:[1][11][8]

<templatestyles src="Legend/styles.css" />

  Withdrawn

<templatestyles src="Legend/styles.css" />

  Allocated only in the UCSUR
Scripts in the ConScript Unicode Registry[1][11] and Under-ConScript Unicode Registry[8]

Font support

Some fonts support ConScript Unicode specified code points:

  • Constructium, a proportional font based on SIL Gentium[20]
  • Fairfax, a monospaced font family intended for text editors and terminals[21]
  • GNU Unifont, a bitmap font intended as a fallback font, includes CSUR and UCSUR characters in the separate Unifont CSUR package[10]
  • Horta[22]
  • Kurinto Font Folio[23]
  • Nishiki-teki[24]
