BMP ==>
Basic Multilingual Plane
<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.
