Yeah, most dead scripts have Unicode, specifically because how the hell would you write academic papers about them in this day and age otherwise? Even old Irish Ogham:

ᚅᚖᚙᚗ

The line is a convention, because ogham was originally written on the corner of a stone stela.

Ogham is awesome

I've used it for cryptic languages in TTRPGs before, alongside a few other runic scripts like ᛖᛚᛞᛖᚱ᛫ᚠᚢᚦ︍ᚨᚱᚲ.

My favorite is Gallifreyan, which doesn't have unicode, is far too niche and homebrewed to have unicode, and how the hell would unicode even work?

Gallifreyan
