    Hi John,

    Thanks a lot for your response.

    However, I could not map the block you mentioned to the block names
    provided in Unicode site (http://www.unicode.org/charts/). I tried to
    map them based on the similarity of names and specified the actual block
    down below. Could you please once verify it?

    35 - Private Use Area - \ue000 to \f8ff
    1651 - Supplimentary Plane 2 - \2e80 - \u2f00
    511 - Extension A Block - \u3400 - \u4dc0
    2212 - CJK Ideographic block - \u4e00 - \u9fff
    278 - Mapped elsewhere in BMP - ??
    123 - Alphabet Block - \u0000 - \u007f
    8 - Compatibility Block - \u3300 - \u33ff

    Also please let me know the full form of BMP.

    Regards,
    Sourav

    Thanks. I should know better than to write email before coffee.

    I overlooked the 123 mapped to the Alphabet Block and 8 mapped to the
    Compatibility Block. 123+8 = 131 and the totals match.

    35 + 1651 + 511 + 2212 + 278 = 4687.

    HKSCS 1999 has 4,702 characters, and HKSCS 2001 adds 116, for a total of

    4818. I believe the that 131 unaccounted for in your decomposition are
    in the "mapped elsewhere" pile, which should be 409.

    Eric.
