1. Supplementary Ideographic Plane 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 arent 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. Unicode home http://www. unicode. org.
