Linux supporting Klingon since 1996

Notice how this is part of the official kernel documentation that is being linked.

In 1996, Linux was the first operating system in the world to add support for the artificial language Klingon, created by Marc Okrand for the “Star Trek” television series. This encoding was later adopted by the ConScript Unicode Registry and proposed (but ultimately rejected) for inclusion in Unicode Plane 1. Thus, it remains as a Linux/CSUR private assignment in the Linux Zone.

Now you might have read this FUD about file name encodings, you’ll find it to be ridiculous since Linux supports Klingon.

On an unrelated side note, if you wonder what supported means, it refers to Linux having the Klingon alphabet in its private use Unicode plane.
