I wonder whether you aren’t a little too optimistic.
Have you considered the unencoded ideographic scripts?
1,071 hieroglyphs have already been encoded. I think there are
approximately 4,000 more to encode.
1,165 Yi syllables and 55 Yi radicals have been encoded. But they only
support one dialect of Yi and I read there are tens of thousands of Yi
ideographs and that a proposal to encode 88,613 classical Yi characters
was made 4 years ago.
The threshold of 200,000 characters doesn’t seem very far.
