The first 65,536 code point positions in the Unicode character set are said to constitute the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). The BMP includes most of the more common characters in use. Around a million further code point positions are available in the Unicode character set. Characters in this latter range are referred to as supplementary characters.
