11 Digit Boy asked: > Why does Unicode only have space for 1114112 glyphs?
BMP = 256 × 256 = 65536 HI_SURROGS = 1024 LO_SURROGS = 1024 UNICODE = BMP + HI_SURROGS × LO_SURROGS = 1114112 Notice, however that they are characters, not glyphs. Also notice that they are slightly fewer than 1.114.112, because some values are forbidden by design. _ Marco
