Basic multilingual plane (BMP)
Also called the first plane or plane 0, the BMP is where most characters have been assigned in Unicode. The BMP contains characters for almost all modern languages, and a large number of special characters. A primary objective for the BMP is to support the unification of prior character sets as well as characters for writing. Most of the allocated code points in the BMP are used to encode Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) characters.
