	Unicode
		Plane 1, the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) is mostly used for historic scripts, e.g.
		Plane 2, the Supplementary Ideographic Plane (SIP) is used for about 40000 rare Chinese characters that are mostly historic, although there are some modern ones.
		Representation of code points from all planes, including the BMP, can be achieved using the UTF-16 encoding, which requires one 16-bit word for characters in the BMP, and a pair of 16-bit words for characters in higher planes.

	Astral Planes
		The supplementary planes are an innovation in how characters are internally represented—programmers have to assume a character can have a million possible values, not just 64K, which means they often have to change their existing code.
		The informal name for the supplementary planes of Unicode is "astral planes", since (especially in the late '90s) their use seemed to be as remote as the theosophical "great beyond".
		Though the basics of the notation are shared, the semantics of the notation has changed, and the decipherment of the Middle Byzantine notation was only done in 1916, by the musicologist and composer Egon Wellesz.

		In the UCS encoding space, 00 plane of 00 group is called basic multilingual plane.
		The group encoding of basic multilingual plane is 00H.
		UCS stipulates that it can be omitted when the group of canonical form and the plane encoding is 00H, therefore, the characters arranged on the basic multilingual plane can be represented by binary number with two bytes, forming double 8-bit encoded character set, written as UCS-2.

	Using Plane 1 Characters
		Plane 1 (also known as the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, or SMP) will mainly be used for historical scripts as well as sets of Western and Byzantine musical symbols.
		Characters in the supplementary planes are different than characters in the BMP because they are stored in a Unicode font under one hexadecimal number, but in many applications are accessed through the use of surrogate pairs.
		Plane 1 characters will not display properly in Windows 98/Me (although if you open a file that contains Plane 1 characters under Win98/Me, it will not be damaged; the Plane 1 characters won’t be visible, but they will still be there if you open the file later under Win2000 or XP).

	Universal character set : Basic multilingual plane
		It has over a million code points, but only the first 65536 (the Basic Multilingual Plane, or BMP) are commonly used, the remainder being reserved for such purposes as representing ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics or rare Chinese characters.
		Many code points, even in the BMP, are deliberately not assigned to characters, to allow for future expansion or to minimize conflicts with other encoding forms.
		Code points outside the BMP cannot be represented with UCS-2.

		Now that there are characters in Unicode beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), it is critical that operating systems and applications support the full range of 1,112,064 valid Unicode code points, and interoperate between the UTFs.
		The 1,048,576 characters of the 16 Supplementary Planes are encoded with four bytes.
		The single 16-bit portion of this encoding is used to encode the entire BMP, except for 2,048 code points known as "surrogates" that are used in pairs to encode the 1,048,576 characters of the 16 Supplementary Planes.

	ongoing · Characters vs. Bytes
		Plane 0 is called the “Basic Multilingual Plane” or BMP and contains pretty well everything useful.
		Past the BMP, planes 1 through 16 are sometimes humorously called the “astral planes” and are used for exotic, rare, and historically important characters.
		All the characters in the BMP appear as themselves, but clearly some trickery is going to be involved if you want to store astral-plane characters, because they just don't fit in sixteen bits.

	Plane 14 - Plane14
		The Unicode code space for characters is divided into 17 "planes" and each plane has 65,536 (= 2) code points.
		Furthermore, ranges of characters have been tentatively blocked out for every known unencoded script (see [1]), and while Unicode may need another plane for ideographic characters, there are ten planes that could only be needed if previously unknown scripts with tens of thousands of characters are discovered.
		The Basic Multilingual Plane includes a Private Use Area in the range U+E000-U+F8FF (57344-63743), and Plane Fifteen (U+F0000-U+FFFFF) and Plane Sixteen (U+100000-10FFFF) are completely reserved for private use as well.

	Characters, Entities and Fonts
		This plane of characters is also known as the Secondary Multilingual Plane (SMP), in contrast to the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) which was originally the entire extent of Unicode.
		Support for Plane 1 characters in currently deployed software is not always reliable, and in particular support for these Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbol characters is not likely to be widespread until after public fonts covering the characters adopted for mathematics are available.
		Most of these characters come from the additions to Plane 1, however a few characters (such as the double-struck letters N, P, Z, Q, R, C, H representing common number sets) were already present in Unicode 3.0 and retain their original positions.

	Medieval Unicode Font Initiative
		This is often referred to as the BMP (Basic Multilingual Plane), and fonts with a smaller or larger selection of these characters can be found on a large number of computers, especially within the Windows community (although the users may not know that they have a Unicode font on their computer).
		Now, Unicode has added 16 supplementary planes of equal size to the BMP, so that the total number of possible characters exceeds one million.
		This means that there is ample room for additions in each range, and it is furthermore possible to define another 13 subranges, each containing 256 code points, all within the bounds of the Private Use Area of the Basic Multilingual Plane.

		The first version (1.x) was identical to only the first (basic multilingual) plane (65,536 characters) of the more extensive 4-byte ISO/IEC/10646 character encoding standard.
		However, there is a basic difference (presently) between the two standards: Unicode extensively defines character properties and character behavior, whereas ISO/IEC/10646 does not at this time.
		A Unicode font is also compliant to the Basic Multilingual Plane of ISO10646, so that it, perhaps, could also be considered an « ISO10646 font, » possibly.

	Unicode Revisited
		However, ISO 10646-1 that was prescribed recently is called the Basic Multilingual Plane, and it is only the portion that corresponds to the 0 group 0 plane of the previously mentioned huge code.
		However, this Basic Multilingual Plane is something that in fact adopts Unicode almost as is, and the method by which it switches into UCS-4 has not been decided.
		It is based on two basic concepts: (1) language data are divided into four layers: Language, Group, Script, and Font; and (2) language specifier codes, which specify each of those four layers, are used to switch between 16-bit character planes.

		It was developed by merging the ISO draft for 16-bit character codes with the code used by Unicode.
		It inherited features from both, compatibility with other standards (such as ISO Latin 1) from the ISO draft, character combining (such as writing the letter "á" as a combination of "a" and "'") from Unicode.
		Presently the BMP is half empty, although it covers all major languages, including Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese, hiragana, katakana, Devanagari, Easter Island "rongo-rongo", and even Elvish (but leaves out Klingon).

		The leading two bytes indicate that the character uses a three-byte code and indicates which range of characters is relevant, while the third byte indicates the specific character in the set.
		UTF-16 is an encoding which represents all Basic Multilingual Plane characters (including basic Greek, extended Greek, and combining diacriticals) with two bytes and all other characters (including Aegean scripts, Etruscan, and any future scripts of relevance to classicists) with four bytes.
		The four-byte combinations use surrogates, two-byte combinations appearing before a two-byte code which indicate that the intended character is outside the Basic Multilingual Plane, and exactly in which plane the intended character is located.

	IUC27: Are We Counting Bytes Yet?
		For most SBCS encodings, the mapping of bytes to Unicode characters is also 1:1 (and nearly all of these encodings map entirely to the Basic Multilingual Plane of Unicode, which means that each character consumes just one UTF-16 code unit).
		This method has a basic design problem: in a stateful encoding, the replacement byte sequence is in one or another state.
		BMP code points have the advantage of being represented by a single UTF-16 code unit.
