Unicode block

In Unicode, a block is defined as one contiguous range of . Blocks are named uniquely and have no . They have a starting code point of the form hhh0 and an ending code point of the form hhhF. A block explicitly can include code points that are . Code points not belonging to any of the named blocks, e.g. in the unassigned 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 "" in the block , are not a "block". The subgroup name is an informative editorial addition only.

The number of code points in a Unicode block is a multiple of 16. Unicode blocks range in size from the minimum of 16 to a maximum of 65,536 code points.

Unicode 10.0 defines 280 blocks:

• 162 in plane 0, the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP)
• 108 in plane 1, the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP)
• 6 in plane 2, the Supplementary Ideographic Plane (SIP)
• 2 in plane 14 (E in ), the Supplementary Special-purpose Plane (SSP)
• One each in planes 15 (F_hex) and 16 (10_hex), called Supplementary Private Use Area-A and -B
