Hoi,
In the past the WMF has funded the creation of a Unicode font. Having a
Unicode font is essential when we are to support it in MediaWiki. Not
having a fully developed font is what hinders the necessary follow up of
projects in SignWriting ie all the signed languages.
I do agree that a language with a default script not supported in Unicode
is hugely problematic.
Thanks,
GerardM

Hi,
I have a vague recollection that we require Unicode support to create a
new language, but I cannot find it in the policy. Do we indeed require this
explicitly, or am I just making things up?
Or is it just a de facto practicality—that it's technically difficult to
host a language in a script that isn't supposed in Unicode?
