This category is for symbols found in the Basic Multilingual Plane. (U+00000 — U+0FFFF), which was utilized in Version 1.0 - October of 1991 - Roadmap to the BMP ucl
The Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) contains characters for almost all modern languages, and a large number of symbols. A primary objective for the BMP is to support the unification of prior character sets as well as characters for writing. Most of the assigned code points in the BMP are used to encode Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters.
The High Surrogates (U+D800 — U+DBFF) and Low Surrogate (U+DC00 — U+DFFF) codes are reserved for encoding non-BMP characters in UTF-16 by using a pair of 16-bit codes: one High Surrogate and one Low Surrogate. A single surrogate code point will never be assigned a character.
65,424 of the 65,536 code points in this plane have been allocated to a Unicode block, leaving just 112 code points in unallocated ranges (48 code points at U+0870 —U+089F, 48 code points at U+1C90 — U+1CBF and 16 code points at U+2FE0 — U+2FEF).
