Aw: Re: Difference between Klingon and Tengwar

[Marius Spix]

The code block Diggbats (U+2700 to U+27BF) encodes characters which were once IP of Hermann Zapf, but because they are mostly simple geometric shapes like stars or minimal drawings of office items like scissors and pencils they lack a 
threshold of originality. As it also seems that there are at least three completely different Klingon scripts in use als seen here [1] and there actually is a diaspora speaking and writing Klingon, a standardization by adding that script to Unicode makes totally sense. Other synthetic languages like Volapük also have their own Unicode characters as well (U+A79A to U+A79F).
