    The roadmap for "new" CJK characters is to place them in plane 2, since the
    whole of plane 2 is roadmap for CJK charcters, at present only extension B.
    Extension C will be added sometime, and unless unicode decides to become very
    inventive with extension names eventually extensions D, E, F will go into palne
    2 until it is full after which some other area will need to be roadmapped for
    more CJK characters. {After Extension C is added only 20 thousand places remain
    in plane 2, however very few places in planes 3-14 have been roadmapped yet;
    planes 15 and 16 are designated as PUA [corperate/private use areas]}

    there are many extension C's in unicode, here we are talking about unified cjk
    extension C
