The Indus symbols have been assigned the [[ISO 15924]] code "Inds". [[Michael Everson]] submitted a completed proposal for encoding the script in Unicode's [[Supplementary Multilingual Plane]] in 1999,{{sfnp|Everson|1999}} but this proposal has not been approved by the [[Unicode Technical Committee]]. {{As of|February 2022}}, the [[Script Encoding Initiative]] still lists the proposal among the list of scripts that are not yet officially encoded in the Unicode Standard (and [[ISO/IEC 10646]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=SEI List of Scripts Not Yet Encoded |website=linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/ |url=https://linguistics.berkeley.edu/sei/scripts-not-encoded.html}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Proposed New Scripts |website=unicode.org |url=http://unicode.org/pending/pending.html}}</ref>
