1. Klingon

from:

PRIVATE USE AREA U+F8D0 - U+F8FF as coordinated by the ConScript Unicode Registry

This is why I love the internet. If you don't like the sandbox you're in, you can find another.

3. Don't you get it? It's not part of the standard! That's wrong!

7. Egyptian Hieroglyphs are approved.

Go stand by that lady who is absolutely certain the clerks behind the counter are talking about her in Mexican or Filipino but she's not sure which because all those brown people look sorta the same. It's an English ASCII world, and she's an English ASCII girl.

5. People who actually learn Kligon bring Star Trek down to the level of Star Wars
I didn't mean to say that; I just couldn't help myself.

2. Yes
Because I want to know how Daniel reads all that stuff on all those Goa'uld ships everywhere.

We'll need some Ancient lettering, too.

6. Screw that. Let's just reinterpret the ASCII set one more time.
What could possibly go wrong?
