===Unicode=== Equivalents for some (but not all) cirth can be found in the [[Runic (Unicode block)|Runic block]] of [[Unicode]]. Tolkien's mode of writing Modern English in Anglo-Saxon runes received explicit recognition with the introduction of his three additional runes to the Runic block with the release of Unicode 7.0, in June 2014. The three characters represent the English {{angbr|k}}, {{angbr|oo}} and {{angbr|sh}} graphemes, as follows: *{{unichar|16F1|RUNIC LETTER K}} *{{unichar|16F2|RUNIC LETTER SH}} *{{unichar|16F3|RUNIC LETTER OO}} A formal [[Unicode]] proposal to encode Cirth as a separate script was made in September 1997 by [[Michael Everson]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://std.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2/docs/n1642/n1642.htm|title=N1642: Proposal to encode Cirth in Plane 1 of ISO/IEC 10646-2 | first = Michael | last = Everson | publisher=Working Group Document, ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2 and UTC|date=1997-09-18|access-date=2015-08-08}}</ref> No action was taken by the Unicode Technical Committee (UTC) but Cirth appears in the Roadmap to the SMP.<ref name="roadmapsmp">{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/roadmaps/smp/ |title=Roadmap to the SMP |publisher=Unicode.org |date=2015-06-03 |access-date=2015-08-08}}</ref>
