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.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“screenwriter
Policemen so cherish their status as keepers of the peace and protectors of the public that they have occasionally been known to beat to death those citizens or groups who question that status.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“A genuine Left doesn’t consider anyone’s suffering irrelevant or titillating; nor does it function as a microcosm of capitalist economy, with men competing for power and status at the top, and women doing all the work at the bottom.... Goodbye to all that.”
—Robin Morgan (b. 1941)
