Proposed script codes for the ConScript Unicode Registry

This is an obsolete version of this proposal. Go here for the updated version.

The following is a suggested assignment of ISO 15924 script codes to the 41 “constructed” scripts registered in, or proposed for, the ConScript Unicode Registry (CSUR). These user-defined alphabetic script codes fall within the range in ISO 15924 marked “Reserved for private use,” just as the characters in the scripts are assigned to code points within the Private Use Area of Unicode.

In this scheme, codes are assigned as follows:

The first and second letters of the code are Qa, by requirement. This is due to the current restriction of ISO 15924 private-use codes to the range from Qaaa to Qacz, which limits their mnemonic value.
The third letter of the code is a for scripts that have actually been registered in CSUR (not just proposed for registration), c for the “Kolagian” scripts invented by Herman Miller, and b for all other scripts. This choice is arbitrary, but is applied consistently and serves to group Miller’s 17 scripts together (excluding Gargoyle, which is registered).
The fourth letter of the code is equal to the first letter of the name of the script, when possible. Another letter in the script name is chosen when the first choice is unavailable.
The code Qaai is not assigned to a CSUR script, because it has the special meaning of “inherited script” in Unicode Standard Annex #24, “Script Names.”
Scripts that already have a code officially assigned in ISO 15924 are not assigned a private-use code.

Like any other private-use assignment, these script codes are not official. They are only a suggestion. The code Qaba refers to the Aiha script only within this unofficial CSUR-based assignment scheme, and only by private agreement between sender and receiver. Otherwise, it could refer to almost anything, even another CSUR script.

Entries in this table are in alphabetical order by script name. Script codes in italics are already assigned in ISO 15924.
