Rongorongo *is* in the roadmap, and a signlist exists for it:
http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/rongorongo.pdf
Of course, since this is undeciphered, nobody really knows what the
status of all these signs is, so it is quite unlikely that
this will be encoded anytime soon.
However, with an explicit sign list and the study that has been
done on Rongorongo, this is in better shape to be considered
a script (if undeciphered) than some of the others which don't
make it into the roadmap.
