Have Characters that Depict Electronic Components been Discussed?

[Ken Whistler]

This statement is manifestly incorrect. The Unicode Technical Committee 
regularly considers the encoding of scripts for writing systems created 
fairly recently. The criteria for encoding include evidence of regular 
use of the script for writing among a community of users, and evidence 
of a need for digital interchange of text written in the script.

Many scripts invented and promulgated only in the 20th century have 
already been encoded, including several invented in the last two decades 
of the century, such as Nyiakeng Puachue Hmong, Hanifi Rohingya, Adlam, 
Tangsa, and Gurung Khema. The addition of scripts appropriate for 
encoding has even now extended to new scripts invented in the *21st* 
century, for example, Wancho (added in Unicode 12.0) and Toto (added in 
Unicode 14.0).
