Exploratory proposal to encode Germanicist, Nordicist, and other phonetic characters in the UCS

This is a preliminary document that presents various Latin characters for specialist phonetic use that may be eligible to add to the international character encoding standard Unicode. The set of Teuthonista characters were later separately proposed and were published in Unicode Standard version 7.0 in June 2014. (The later proposal for Teuthonista which was approved is: .

Final proposal to encode the Cuneiform script in the SMP of the UCS

This is a proposal to encode the Phoenician script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. This script was published in Unicode Standard version 5.0 in July 2006. The Phoenician script is an historic script, used to represent texts in Paleo-Hebrew, Archaic Phoenician, Phoenician, Early Aramaic, Late Phoenician cursive, Phoenician papyri, Siloam Hebrew, Hebrew seals, Ammonite, Moabite, and Punic. Although some scholars today use Square Hebrew to transliterate Paleo-Hebrew, the Phoenician script was included in Unicode to be able to represent the historic script directly

Proposal for encoding the Balinese script in the UCS

This is a proposal to encode the Balinese script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. This script was published in Unicode Standard version 5.0 in July 2006. The script is used to write the Balinese language. A slightly modified version of the script is also used to write the Sasak language of Indonesia.

Proposal for encoding the Meroitic Hieroglyphic and the Meroitic Cursive scripts in the SMP of the UCS

This is a proposal to encode Meroitic cursive and Meroitic hieroglyphs in the international character encoding standard Unicode. These scripts were published in Unicode Standard version 6.1 in January 2012. Meroitic hieroglyphs and Meroitic cursive were used to write the Meroitic language of the Nile valley from about the 2c BCE to the 4c CE. The cursive script was in general use, and the hieroglyphs appeared in inscriptions on temples and monuments. Meroitic numbers were separately proposed in and were approved. Users should check the latest code charts for the repertoire, which is accessible at:

Proposal for encoding the Meitei Mayek script in the BMP of the UCS

This is the penultimate proposal to encode the Meetei Mayek script (also spelled Meitei Mayek) in the international character encoding standard Unicode. The main, modern repertoire was published in Unicode Standard version 5.2 in October 2009. A set of characters to represent historical orthographies was published later, in Unicode 6.1 in January 2012. This proposal included both the modern repertoire and the set of historical characters. However, later proposals split the repertoire into two documents: for the modern characters, an

Proposal for encoding the Mandaic script in the BMP of the UCS

This is a proposal to encode the Mandaic script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. This set of characters was published in Unicode Standard version 6.0 in October 2010. Mandaic was developed by followers of the Mandaean gnostic religion to write a dialect of Eastern Aramaic. It is used to write the liturgical language, called Classical Mandaic, as well as a form of Mandaic used today

Final proposal to encode the Pahawh Hmong script in the UCS

This is a proposal to encode the Pahawh Hmong script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. Pahawh Hmong was published in Unicode Standard version 7.0 in June 2014. The script is said to have been devised in the latter half of the 20c. Pahawh Hmong underwent a number of stages of development. The characters encoded in Unicode support text that has been written in Second Stage Reduced, Third Stage Reduced, and Final versions

Proposal for encoding the Javanese script in the UCS

In 1928 Bahasa Indonesia, which is written with Latin letters, became the national language of Indonesia; it eventually became the predominant language, eclipsing other languages and scripts

Proposal for encoding the Palmyrene script in the SMP of the UCS

This is a proposal to encode the Palmyrene script in the international character encoding standard Unicode. Palmyrene was published in Unicode Standard version 7.0 in June 2014.
