U+F8FF Private Use Character

U+F8FF was added to Unicode in version 1.1 (1993). It belongs to the block U+E000 to U+F8FF Private Use Area in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Private Use and is mainly used in the Unknown script.

The glyph is not a composition. It has a Ambiguous East Asian Width. In bidirectional context it acts as Left To Right and is not mirrored. In text U+F8FF behaves as Unknown regarding line breaks. It has type Other for sentence and Other for word breaks. The Grapheme Cluster Break is Any.

On Apple devices some installed fonts contain the Apple logo at this position. However, it is not recommended to use it in this way, since people with other operating systems will most probably not see this character.

The ConScript Unicode Registry suggests to use this codepoint for the Klingon Mummification Glyph. This encoding has been endorsed by the Klingon Language Institute.

The Under-ConScript Unicode Registry contains this private-use character with the name KLINGON MUMMIFICATION GLYPH.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

In Unicode, a Private Use Area (PUA) is a range of code points that, by definition, will not be assigned characters by the Unicode Consortium. Three private use areas are defined: one in the Basic Multilingual Plane (U+E000–U+F8FF), and one each in, and nearly covering, planes 15 and 16 (U+F0000–U+FFFFD, U+100000–U+10FFFD). The code points in these areas cannot be considered as standardized characters in Unicode itself. They are intentionally left undefined so that third parties may define their own characters without conflicting with Unicode Consortium assignments. Under the Unicode Stability Policy, the Private Use Areas will remain allocated for that purpose in all future Unicode versions.

Assignments to Private Use Area characters need not be private in the sense of strictly internal to an organisation; a number of assignment schemes have been published by several organisations. Such publication may include a font that supports the definition (showing the glyphs), and software making use of the private-use characters (e.g. a graphics character for a "print document" function). By definition, multiple private parties may assign different characters to the same code point, with the consequence that a user may see one private character from an installed font where a different one was intended.
