SIL Corporate PUA Assignments
Peter Constable and Lorna A. Priest, 2012-04-17; 17347 reads
Background
The following table gives a list of Unicode private-use character assignments used
within SIL International.
This information is provided for those who work in collaboration with SIL and who may wish to interchange
language data. It does not constitute a recommendation for widespread adoption of PUA character
assignments.
SIL corporation-wide PUA usage uses the codepoint range U+F100..U+F8FF. Individual SIL field entities
might also make independent PUA character assignments in the range U+E000..U+EFFF. Corporate PUA assignments
follow the following roadmap:
| F000..F0FF |
(reserved) |
| F100..F13F |
specials |
| F140..F15F |
(reserved) |
| F160..F17F |
combining marks |
| F180..F1EF |
modifier letters (e.g. superscripts) |
| F1F0..F1FF |
(reserved) |
| F200..F2FF |
Latin |
| F300..F31F |
Hebrew |
| F320..F33F |
Cyrillic |
| F340..F34F |
(reserved) |
| F350..F6FF |
other non-Latin alphabetic characters |
| F700..F8FF |
(reserved) |
Roadmap (Revised 2003-8-11)
SIL Corporate PUA Character Assignments
In preparing fonts to facilitate corporate transition to Unicode, NRSI has attempted to create a font that
will meet the character needs of users working with Latin or Cyrillic scripts throughout the corporation. In
order to achieve this, it was necessary to identify private-use character needs related to these scripts from
all entities. Documented here are the code-points for each of the Private Use Area (PUA) characters which
have been assigned to the corporate area of the PUA. The Unicode 5.2 standard includes 205 characters that
were previously allocated to codepoints in the Private Use Area by
SIL’s PUA committee. A TECkit mapping file for converting from PUA
codepoints to Unicode codepoints is provided here.
Character properties are listed in the UCD-SIL_PUA_[date].xls file which
shall be distributed with this document. Note: We have recently added a
worksheet (DeprecatedAssignments) to SIL's PUA UCD (Unicode Character Database) spreadsheet. This worksheet
shows the history of every SIL PUA character: what PUA version it was added and what version, if any, it was
deprecated. This will help implementers determine which PUA versions a specific keyboard, font, or mapping
table supports.
Deprecated SIL Corporate PUA
characters Lorna A. Priest, 2012-02-07; 8516 reads
These PUA characters have been added to Unicode and are being deprecated. This page lists those PUA
characters along with the appropriate Unicode codepoints. Please use the Unicode codepoint instead of the PUA
codepoint. Our SIL Unicode Roman fonts will continue to support the PUA codepoint for backwards compatibility
purposes.
