The Under-ConScript Unicode Registry or UCSUR (sometimes pronounced in English as /juˈsizər/[1], /ˈjusisər/, or /ˈuksər/[1], or as an initialism[2]) is a volunteer project founded and maintained by Rebecca Bettencourt 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.[3][4] It is the successor of the ConScript Unicode Registry, founded by John Cowan and maintained by him and Michael Everson.

sitelen pona was proposed for the UCSUR in August 2021 and updated throughout 2022.[5] This has led to better encoding standardization across later fonts, and is a rough proof of concept for proper Unicode support. However, due to technical advancements among community fontmakers, some UCSUR codepoints are already discouraged in favor of OpenType features and are not to be proposed for Unicode.

Codepoints[edit | edit source]

The following table includes the defined codepoints for the block Sitelen Pona (U+F1900–U+F19FF). It consists of all nimi pu and nimi ku suli, as well as four nimi ku lili (pake, apeja, majuna, and powe). It also features punctuation and format controls. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols.

The highlighted codepoints are for discouraged methods of encoding cartouches, long pi, and other long glyphs.

If you type using this feature, the underlying text does not use UCSUR codepoints, which you may or may not want. For similar behavior that actually converts text to UCSUR codepoints, you need an input method.
