Roadmaps to Unicode
Plane 1: Supplementary Multilingual Plane
Summary
The following table shows a map of the actual and proposed allocation on Plane 1, the SMP (Supplementary Multilingual Plane). A description of the presentation conventions used in the table is at the bottom of this page.
Status
This document is informative and those parts reflecting proposals are of a provisional nature. Please send corrigenda and other comments to the authors using the online contact form.
The SMP is tentatively mapped out to the following zones:
- 00010000-000107FF Alphabetic and syllabic LTR scripts and sets of symbols
- 00010800-00010FFF Alphabetic and syllabic RTL scripts
- 00011000-00011FFF Brahmic scripts
- 00012000-00012FFF Cuneiform and other ancient scripts
- 00013000-00014FFF Egyptian and Anatolian hieroglyphic scripts
- 00015000-00015FFF Other large scripts
- 00016000-00016FFF Recently-devised scripts
- 00017000-0001BBFF Large East Asian scripts
- 0001BC00-0001BCFF Shorthands
- 0001BD00-0001CEFF Other large scripts
- 0001CF00-0001DFFF Notational systems
- 0001E000-0001E7FF Alphabetic and syllabic LTR scripts
- 0001E800-0001EFFF RTL scripts and numeric systems
- 0001F000-0001F0FF Game symbols
- 0001F100-0001F2FF Alphanumeric and ideographic sets
- 0001F300-0001FBFF Pictographic sets and miscellaneous symbols
- 0001FC00-0001FFFD unallocated
Presentation conventions
- Text on Blue indicates a published character collection. Text on Violet indicates a published character collection with predominant right-to-left directionality. For blocks containing assigned graphic or format characters, there is a link to the charts on the Unicode web site.
- (Text between parentheses) indicates scripts which have been formally accepted by UTC or WG2 for processing toward inclusion in the standard. There is generally a link to a mature proposal for the script.
- (Text between parentheses) indicates scripts for which proposals have been formally submitted to the UTC or to WG2. There is generally a link to the formal proposal.
- ¿Text between question marks? indicates scripts for which detailed proposals have not yet been written. There may be a link to an exploratory code table.
- Color highlighting is used to indicate blocks and unassigned ranges which default to right-to-left character behavior.
- Grey shading is used to indicate ranges of control characters and noncharacters.
NOTE: When scripts are actually proposed to the UTC or to WG2, the practice is to "front" them in the zones to which they are tentatively allocated, and to adjust the block size with regard to the allocation proposed.
The size and location of the unallocated script blocks are merely proposals based on the current state of planning. The size and location of a script may change during final allocation of the script.
The Script Encoding Working Group maintains and updates this document as a service to the Unicode Technical Committee and to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG2.
