What do you want delimiters for?

U+4E00 -- U+9FA5 contains the Unified Han character ranges, described in
Unihan.txt.

U+AC00 -- U+D7A3 contains precomposed Korean hangeul syllables.

The Unicode Standard contains two separator characters you can use, U+2028
LINE SEPARATOR and U+2029 PARAGRAPH SEPARATOR. See

http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr13/

for details.

Subject: Characters suitable for delimiters

Hi there!

I was running thru UnicodeData-Latest.txt, looking for characters
suitable for use as delimiters.  Noticed huge gaps between 4E00 and
9FA5, AC00 and D7A3, for example.

1.  Would characters in these gaps work as delimiters?  Or does the
Unicode consortium have other plans for these unused ranges?

2.  Are there already designated delimiters in the Unicode standard?

Many thanks!
