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 .
4-616: 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

12-565: Was the chair of the working group defining the R7RS Large standard of the Scheme programming language. Cowan has revised William Strunk 's The Elements of Style (now in the public domain ). His revisions are "founded on the principle that rules of usage and style cannot be drawn out of thin air, nor constructed a priori according to logic; they must depend on the actual practice of those who are generally acknowledged to be good writers". Cowan
16-554: 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 . The CSUR and UCSUR include
