@Amire80 To my knowledge it is not mandated anywhere that all variants of the representation of a lexeme lemma/form must use Q number private use subtags, but rather such uses are possible if other existing subtags within BCP47 cannot adequately indicate the necessary differences. The indication of Japanese written in different scripts can already be done with the BCP47 script subtag, so //(¡¡¡)within the scope of language codes(!!!)// the items I mentioned which are currently being used for those indications are redundant. Also, as I noted above, the distinction between kyujitai and shinjitai does not lend itself to a non-private-use indicator within the set of possible "ja" language tags, so this task is not meant to discourage the use of those private use subtags in that case. And besides, with respect to items, we already have language tags with different ISO 15924 codes for Tunisian Arabic, Crimean Tatar, Goan Konkani, Eastern Canadian Inuktitut, Kazakh, Kashmiri, Kurmanji, Megleno-Romanian, Tachelhit, Serbian, Tajik, Tatar, Uyghur, and Uzbek <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User:Mr._Ibrahem/Language_statistics_for_items>, so there is clearly a precedent for the inclusion of codes of the sort which are the subject of this task.
