As the creator of the unicode_text mod that ucsigns uses I may be a bit biased, but this is exactly the kind of signs mod that I made unicode_text for.
As the description correctly states, with this mod you can have text on signs that Minetest can not even render in its interface using the fonts it comes with. As this includes the text input fields that players use to write on signs, this mod is best used with the standard font set to GNU Unifont and the fallback font set to GNU Unifont Upper. This font combination does not account for any CSUR glyphs, but it seems to be a limitation of Minetest that users can not stack an arbitrary amount of fallback fonts.
In the case that users find it difficult to input some Unicode characters, one can use ucsigns to create a mod that translates ASCII sequences into Unicode (or CSUR) characters. An example of this is cora's sitelen_pona_signs mod which uses a simple translation table to let users input ASCII syllables that are then transformed to sitelen pona CSUR codepoints, so that signs show sitelen pona glyphs instead.
