      For an idea I'm working on, I compared the list of ISO 15924/Unicode scripts with what is currently displayed under either section of the script list in the release editor. There are a bunch of scripts missing, and one displayed which is only a proposal. Most or all of these might never see any use, but they're no less likely to be used than some of the others (e.g., Linear B is in the list, Linear A is currently missing).

      I also tried seeding the release editor with an import using some of these script codes that are missing from the RE dropdown, in case it was simply a case of the scripts not being displayed, but that had the same result as not seeding any script - no script was set.

      I'm not including here the script codes that aren't actually scripts (private use, inherited, etc). These are all actual defined scripts, they're just currently not accessible when adding or editing a release.


      Khutsuri (Geok) is only a proposal. A quick search makes it appear that there are no releases in the database currently set to that script.
