11 Digit Boy asked:
> Why does Unicode only have space for 1114112 glyphs?
BMP = 256 × 256 = 65536
HI_SURROGS = 1024
LO_SURROGS = 1024
UNICODE = BMP + HI_SURROGS × LO_SURROGS = 1114112
Notice, however that they are characters, not glyphs. Also notice that they
are slightly fewer than 1.114.112, because some values are forbidden by
design.
