Introduction
Beringin script uses codepoints in the Unicode Private Use Area (PUA) which is maintained under private agreements between different parties. Currently, the codepoints unofficially assigned for Beringin is at the block U+EBA0 to U+EBFF.
An enquiry has been sent to Kreative Korporation who maintain the list of Under-ConScript Unicode Registry (UCSUR) to add the codepoints used by Beringin to their registry and thus making it somewhat official but there has been no reply yet as of now.
As such, please avoid writing Beringin using these Unicode codepoints until they add it to the registry to avoid unnecessary re-assignment. More information on the reason behind this is available on the Unicode Registry section of Special Keyboard page.
The content of this page is the slightly modified form of the “Planned Reservation of Encoding for Aksara Beringin” file in Portable Document Format (PDF) that was sent to Kreative Korporation. The original file can be downloaded from here.

Native Beringin Affixes
These are used to mark the affixes that exist in Malay and Indonesian languages. It is also possible to be typed out without using these markers but it will take more spaces as Malay and Indonesian uses affixes heavily.
Sample word: mempertanggungjawabkannya (meaning: to make someone to be responsible of something by the person being mentioned about) which has combination of one circumfix, meN-…-kan (making noun into verb and mark it as present tense), one prefix, per- (making the object as a subject); and one suffix, -nya (marking the action to be from the person being mentioned about). Instead of typing out each letters for the affixes, you can just type in one letter for each of them.
In this sample, it would end up as (15 letters) when written with affix letters mixed in instead of (22 letters) using basic letters alone for the same word. Note that it is written horizontally here just for the sake of comparison, it must be written vertically when writing it the proper way.
