Based on my comprehensive research, I can now provide you with a detailed list of email addresses for authors of constructed languages (conlangs) that use Unicode characters. Here's what I found:

Additional Resources
Under-ConScript Unicode Registry (UCSUR)
Maintained by KreativeKorp9 and includes additional constructed scripts not yet in the main CSUR registry.
Language Creation Society
- Website: conlang.org10
- Email: lcc@conlang.org
- Purpose: Supporting constructed language creators and community
Important Notes
-
Privacy Considerations: Many conlang creators do not publish their email addresses publicly due to privacy concerns and spam prevention.
-
Contact Methods: Some creators prefer contact through:
- Personal websites with contact forms
- Social media platforms
- Conlang community forums and mailing lists
-
Unicode Implementation: Most constructed scripts use Unicode Private Use Areas (PUA) rather than official Unicode blocks, coordinated through the ConScript Unicode Registry.
-
Active vs. Historical: Some creators are no longer active or have passed away, making direct contact impossible.
The most reliable contacts for information about Unicode-based conlangs are the CSUR maintainers John Cowan and Michael Everson, who can provide additional information about registered scripts and their creators.
