Voynich?[edit]

a section on undeciphered writing systems?--142.163.195.90 (talk) 00:45, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ISO 15924 doesn't include Voynich so it's out-of-scope for this article. DRMcCreedy (talk) 03:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Special codes[edit]

Should the section about special codes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924#Special_codes

be extended? Or should a new article be started to describe them? For example, Qaal (from the private use area) is (informally) used for

https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsm%C3%A5lsalfabetet https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsmålsalfabetet

as in (for example) sv-Qaal-SE or sv-Qaal-FI or nn-Qaal-NO etc.

Where should this information be made available on Wikipedia? sign diff

Not a separate article for private codes. But if a Privater Use code is relevant (sources, traction, used in real life, etc), then a subsection could be added in this article. -DePiep (talk) 20:54, 1 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nuneric codes[edit]

There are numeric codes, whose general ranges *are* listed, but then they are *not* given individually for each script in the table, where only the alphabetic codes are listed. Why? It makes no sense to omit them (especially with all the other additional information which is suprisingly given even though it has little to do with the actual subject matter here, which is the ISO script coding and not, for example, how many characters from the script have been so far encoded in Unicode, which is off-topic info of very questionable usefulness here and certainly much less important than the actual script codes which is the actual on-topic info that unexplainably is missing), forcing the reader to tediously click through into each scriptʼs article in order to find out. 92.178.80.48 (talk) 19:21, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Will add the numeric codes, good point; although their importance may be not that high, RL usage is rare (as opposed to alpha-4 code). re "off-topic" Unicode data: I disagree, because the table is intended to give the connection between ISO 15924 and Unicode script identifiers. See for example the header title & structure. DePiep (talk) 20:43, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
