BASIC MULTILINGUAL PLANE

Specialty Definition: BASIC MULTILINGUAL PLANE

Computing

Basic Multilingual Plane The first, and to date the only, UCS-2 plane defined. It was developed by merging the ISO draft for 16-bit character codes with the code used by Unicode. It inherited features from both, compatibility with other standards (such as ISO Latin 1) from the ISO draft, character combining (such as writing the letter "รก" as a combination of "a" and "'") from Unicode. Presently the BMP is half empty, although it covers all major languages, including Roman, Greek, Cyrillic, Chinese, hiragana, katakana, Devanagari, Easter Island "rongo-rongo", and even Elvish (but leaves out Klingon).
