A quick google finds a proposal page pretty quickly, along with some

The final sentence on that (badly spelled) page is
"So humans can use Marain to confuse their fellows, too."
As described in that page, Marain is open-ended. It is explicitly
stated that you could have a grid a million on a side, which is to
say 2**(10**12) "characters". This seems to disqualify it for
inclusion in a 31-bit (10646) or 21-bit (Unicode) code.
On the other hand, Unicode _could_ be mapped into Marain.
Either way, write up a proposal and see what happens.
