Abstract: This document is a proposal for the Universal Character Set, focusing on the Carolinian script, primarily within the geographic context of Micronesia. The time period covered is not explicitly stated but appears to be contemporary. The work discusses the Carolinian language, a member of the Austronesian language family, and its associated script, emphasizing the need for a standardized character set to facilitate digital representation and communication. The document outlines the structural components of the proposed character set, including encoding strategies and font design considerations. Specific attention is given to the unique phonetic and orthographic features of the Carolinian language, which may include diacritics and special characters not found in standard Latin scripts. The proposal aims to address the challenges faced by Carolinian speakers in digital environments, ensuring that their language is accurately represented and accessible in various media.
