The first Swahili newspaper, Habari ya Mwezi, was published by missionaries in 1895.

So, it is unfortunate, but Swahili is mostly Latin-1.
As Yet Unsupported Scripts
Modern Scripts
The following scripts in current use in living communities are not yet supported in Unicode. Extensions to Unicode (and ISO/IEC 10646) which will address the needs of these scripts are being developed and evaluated by both the Unicode Technical Committee and by ISO JTC1/SC2/WG2. Scripts in this list which already have advanced proposals accepted and in the ISO balloting process are shown in
red. See Proposed New Scripts for details.
Balinese, Javanese,
Lepcha (Rong), Manipuri (Meithei, Kanglei), Moso (Naxi),
N'Ko (Mandekan), Old Chiki, Pahawh Hmong,
Saurashtra, Tai Mau,
Vai
Other minor modern scripts (and some historic ones) not yet encoded in the Unicode Standard are listed on the Roadmap to the BMP.
Even though Unicode doesn't yet support these scripts, some of the languages which employ them are also commonly written with other scripts that are supported by Unicode. For example, Hmong is commonly written with the Latin script.
If you would like further information about the status of the research on these scripts, or would like to contribute information to this area, please study any existing proposal listed at Proposed New Scripts, and then contact the Unicode office. For information on the proposal process itself, please see Submitting New Characters or Scripts.
Archaic and Obsolete Scripts
In addition to the above modern scripts, a number of archaic or "dead" scripts (or obsolete written forms of modern languages) are not yet supported. These include, but are not limited to scripts in the following list. Scripts in this list which already have advanced proposals accepted and in the ISO balloting process are shown in
red.
Ahom, Aramaic, Balti, Batak, Brahmi, Carian, Chola, Cypro-Minoan, Hieroglyphic Egyptian, Hieroglyphic Hittite, Kaithi, Kawi, Khamti, Lahnda, Lycian, Lydian, Mandaic, Mangyan, Mayan, Meroitic (Kush), Modi, Numidian, Pahlavi and Avestan,
Phags-pa, Pyu,
Phoenician, Satavahana, Siddham, South Arabian,
Sumero-Akkadian Cuneiform, Tangu (Xi Xia), Tircul, Turkmenistan Brahmic (Khotanese)
Other minor historic scripts not yet encoded in the Unicode Standard are listed on the Roadmap to the SMP.
