But then consider the implementation path to fixing the problem for a minority linguistic group being deliberately repressed by their government--It would require blood. If there is some alternate process to work with the UC directly, that could be better but it puts the UC in the position of judging a linguistic group's claims for legitimacy.
I agree that this refutes claims that the UC was negligent, but we can still say that they failed to be particularly assiduous in this case.
Unicode has excellent Tibetan support, despite that language and its script being notoriously difficult to work with.
Also, Bengali is not just a major language in India, but the national language of an entire country (Bangladesh) with 100m+ people. It really is almost entirely the fault of the Bangladeshi and West Bengali authorities if they can't get their shit together enough to submit a decent proposal to Unicode.
An increasing corpus of children's literature is printed in Cherokee syllabary today to meet the needs of Cherokee students in the Cherokee language immersion schools in Oklahoma and North Carolina. In 2010, a Cherokee keyboard cover was developed by Roy Boney, Jr. and Joseph Erb, facilitating more rapid typing in Cherokee and now used by students in the Cherokee Nation Immersion School, where all coursework is written in syllabary.[8] The syllabary is finding increasingly diverse usage today, from books, newspapers, and websites to the street signs of Tahlequah, Oklahoma and Cherokee, North Carolina.
