Cirth is not part of the Unicode Standard. This page tests the Unicode Private Use Area defined for Tolkien's Cirth Runes (U+E080 - U+E0EF) by the ConScript Unicode Registry (last revised 1997-11-03, current as of 2006-01-31).
It is laid out in a grid format for easy comparison against the CSUR's code chart.
Information from the discussion paper linked from the code chart page was also used.
This test page is part of the Gallery of Unicode Fonts.
