1. That page is a little out of date (although a wonderful resource). 2. Although UCS theoretically allows 2^31 code points, it will never encode any character higher than U+10FFFF. 3. There are already some stuff assigned to plane 2, 14, 15, and 16 (the latest two for private use characters). There is a plan to use plane 3 also. roozbeh -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
