Klingon: U+F8D0 - U+F8FF

This encoding at derives from the Linux kernel source code ("Documentation/unicode.txt" by , H. Peter Anvin), from which some of the description here has been taken. This proposal differs from the Linux registration by including an additional character, KLINGON MUMMIFICATION GLYPH (formerly called KLINGON SYMBOL FOR EMPIRE) at U+F8FF. Two punctuation characters have also been added in the positions before that.

Several glyph forms for the Klingon alphabet are extant. The Qo'noS font, designed for Star Trek: The Motion Picture by the Astra Image Corporation, is the standard font used by the Klingon Language Instutute and Paramount (though Paramount explicitly uses the characters unsystematically when it represents the Klingon language). The Klinzhai font, derived from The U.S.S. Enterprise Officer's Manual (1980), predates Marc Okrand's Klingon Dictionary and does not have a standard relationship to tlhIngan Hol (which was published without pIqaD in 1985) or to the Qo'noS font.)

Klingon has an alphabet of 26 characters, a positional numeric writing system with 10 digits, and is written left-to-right, top-to-bottom. Punctuation appears to be only used in Latin transliteration. The standard Okrand transliteration for Klingon runs as follows:

a b ch D e gh H I j l m n ng o p q Q r S t tlh u v w y '

In the names list below, "q" is written Q and "Q" is written QH.

This encoding has been endorsed by the Klingon Language Institute (http://www.kli.org/).
