Status
The Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane covers 216 = 65,536 code points. Of this number, 2048 are reserved for special use as surrogate pairs and 6,400 are reserved for private use. This leaves approximately 57,000 code points to which glyphs can be assigned. Some of these code points are special values that do not have an assigned glyph, but most do have assigned glyphs.
As of June 2008, the GNU Unifont has complete coverage of the Basic Multilingual Plane as defined in Unicode 5.1. Scripts that are less than 100% complete can be augmented by any contributor.
