<
text, standard> (SIP) The third
plane (
plane 2) defined in
Unicode/
ISO 10646, designed to hold all the
ideographs
descended from Chinese writing (mainly found in Vietnamese,
Korean, Japanese and Chinese) that aren't found in the {Basic
Multilingual
Plane}. The BMP was supposed to hold all
ideographs in modern use; unfortunately, many Chinese dialects
(like Cantonese and Hong Kong Chinese) were overlooked; to
write these, characters from the SIP are necessary. This is
one reason even non-academic software must support characters
outside the BMP.
