<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.
