What you might be looking for would be the CLDR project’s “exemplar sets” (see
for example [1]), which describes which characters are customarily used for a
given language and which are sometimes used. However, this is not the same
thing as statistical distribution. One of the points of Unicode
ng from the Universal Character Set as a
whole). Or at least this is how I have already read it.

s. There is also the problem that you're unlikely to be
running your software in a Marshallese locale (or have another such external
hint). The real issue is the need for language metadata in file formats and
other places to enable language-specific rendering to take place. Lacking

If you want to use UTF-32, which uses 32-bit code units, one per code point,
