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. 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. 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== The CSUR and UCSUR include the following scripts: ==Font support== Some fonts support ConScript Unicode specified code points: Constructium, a proportional font based on SIL Gentium Fairfax, a monospaced font family intended for text editors and terminals GNU Unifont, a bitmap font intended as a fallback font, includes CSUR and UCSUR characters in the separate Unifont CSUR package Horta Kurinto Font Folio Nishiki-teki Quivira ==See also== Medieval Unicode Font Initiative ==References== ==External links== ConScript Unicode Registry Under-ConScript Unicode Registry
