SIL Private Use Area Registration Form
(Corporate PUA)
Note:
The SIL PUA committee is no longer functioning. If you wish to see the latest files related to the SIL PUA and the status of encoding in Unicode please visit the new home 
for the SIL PUA.
Note:
We are no longer taking requests for PUA characters on the website. If you wish to submit a request, you may still follow the instructions below and send it to the author of this page.
The Private Use Areas in the Unicode encoding are a limited resource which needs to be managed carefully. SIL International has chosen to maintain a central information repository to ensure consistency of field data and the ability to share and archive data within SIL and cooperating agencies. This page allows for SIL Entities and FOBAI member organizations (requests from persons outside these parameters will not be accepted) to make requests to add characters that are not in the Unicode standard to the SIL Corporate PUA.
