Unicode block

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

In Unicode, a block is defined as one contiguous range of code points. Blocks are named uniquely and have no overlap. They may be defined with the starting and ending code points. The block explicitly can include code points that are unassigned and non-characters.[1] Code points not belonging to any of the named blocks, e.g. in the unassigned planes 3–13, have the value block="No_block".

Conversely, every assigned code point has a property "Block name", which names in which block the character is. This is determined by the code point only, although a block name will have a descriptive nature: "Tibetan" or "Supplemental Arrows-A". All assigned code points have a single block name.

Subdivisions, such as "Chess symbols" in the block Miscellaneous symbols, are not a "block". The subgroup name is an informative editorial addition only.
