text, standard (BMP) The first plane defined in
Unicode/
ISO 10646, designed to include all
scripts in active modern use. The BMP currently includes the Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Devangari, hiragana, katakana, and Cherokee scripts, among others, and a large body of mathematical,
APL-related, and other miscellaneous
characters. Most of the
Han ideographs in current use are present in the BMP, but due to the large number of ideographs, many were placed in the
Supplementary Ideographic Plane.
