The Type field indicates the basic script type (A) alphabets & abjads, (G) abugidas, (L) logosyllabaries, (I) ideographic systems, (S) syllabaries. The secondary HMA type values are "h" for historical scripts, "m" for living minority scripts (including those in liturgical use and categorized as "near-modern"), and "a" for artificial scripts..
The Plane field indicates whether the proposal is suggested for encoding on the BMP (0) or the SMP (1).
The Proposal field indicates whether a proposal has been written, denoted either with a "Y" (for "Yes") or "Approved" (if the proposal has been approved by the Unicode Technical Committee). A link is made to the most current proposal.
The Chart Font field indicates whether a font acceptable for printing the code charts in the standard has been obtained.
The Free Font field indicates whether a Unicode-compatible font for the proposed encoding (or PUA facsimile) is available for download by the general public at no charge.
(The Proposal and Free Font fields will contain links to the latest proposals or fonts if available. In some cases the proposals are only preliminary, and may include just a code chart and a list of names.)
The Contact field is the name of the central contact person in charge of coordinating activities related to the script proposal. "Everson" is Michael Everson.
Note: For basic questions that need to be answered on specific proposals, please see the ProposalQuestions.html webpage.

Note 1: Alpine scripts include ancient Raetic, Venetic, Lepontic, Gallic "alphabets".
Note 2: The following unencoded scripts may be covered by a unified Brahmi encoding: Chalukya, Khotanese, Satavahana, Siddham, and Turkestani. But the Brahmic encoding model needs to be worked through before a decision is made to unify or encode separately.
Note 3: May be a cipher or shorthand, not to be encoded. However, investigation is necessary to determine status.
