Admittedly, I am not familiar with these franchises or their scripts. Uncultured as I am however, the legality and usage issues do still stand. I do think it is worth considering them in context of Esperanto, which despite being a conlang did manage to secure itself a critical base of primary speakers, and Unicode support. These languages could become like that too, but their communities will have to put in the work first to prove usefulness. >From my developer standpoint, I don't mind certain ignorable parts of a spec existing, provided that I don't need to add those to my implementations. By that I mean that I don't mind inclusion of *some* aspects that I may consider to be cruft for my own implementation, provided that ignoring them is allowed by the spec. The other day I was working on an SMTP receiver, which will implement HELO/ EHLO, MAIL, RCPT, DATA, QUIT, and RSET commands. There do exist other commands in the SMTP specs, which I will not implement and only gracefully refuse. But that graceful refusal does take decision on my end, as to how much I need to implement of those, and what I consider to be sufficiently cruft to ignore while remaining in spec. That decision-making on an individual implementer's part is my concern here. I believe that this is primarily a given standard's job. Any deviation thereof, even when it remains in spec, introduces uncertainty. And while I do acknowledge each of these fandoms, including my own, I would not be willing to implement any of them unless required by my employer (which will contractually take the legal burden). While the fandoms of each of these franchises are enormous, their conlangs' usefulness does not currently extend beyond those fandoms. And I would definitely not want to be sued by their rights holders over it, no matter how boneheaded the fandoms may be about it (and Genshin's is no different). Nor do I want Unicode to be exposed to that either. -- [Met vriendelijke groet] [Best regards] [Michael De Roover] --- --- --- --- [Mail] [*@nixmagic.com] [michael@[email protected]] [Web] [https://michael.de.roover.eu.org] [Forge] [https://git.nixmagic.com] [Weather] [Antwerpen] [20:00] [24.5°C] --- --- --- --- [0] [2026-05-28 20:50 CEST] [~] [[email protected]] [$] [/usr/bin/sign-mail] [>_] --- --- --- ---
