       The TrueType font format has been extended to provide support
       for planes >0. I understand that MS has already implemented
       some software using this, but can't provide you with any
       details.

       Are there any platforms out there that currently support planes
       1 or 2? Also, are there any font file formats that are aware of
       upper planes (i.e.; use more than 16 bits for the character
       codepoints)?

       I ask because it looks like extension B Unihan characters might
       be defined soon, and I have an application that could use
       them....
