They did consider it thoroughly, but found that most people (read:
humans) use the Latin alphabet instead of the native Klingon.  (Fonts
do exist, of course.)

Esperanto letters are very well included as precomposed characters.

I hope it's only a matter of time when important Conlangs do get their
place.

Or maybe one should ask for reservation for a (large) area
specifically for conlangs so that we had a way around using the
private use areas, which are technically not for interchanging text.
This way, there would be an official place where we could then
semi-officially be secondary script registrar.

This might be potential work for your Language Creation Society, I
think. :-)  I just asked Micheal (Everson) what he thinks the
chances would be.
