    The mapping of the HKSCS 2001 repertoire to ISO/IEC 10646-2:2001 has

    35 mapped to the private use area
    1651 mapped to supplementary plane 2
    511 mapped to the Extension A block (on the BMP)
    2212 mapped to the CJK Ideographic block (also on the BMP)
    plus another 278 mapped elsewhere on the BMP

    There's an excellent web site (both English & Chinese) on the HKSCS at http://www.info.gov.hk/digital21/eng/hkscs/document.html
    It even has a game.

    Hi All,

    I'll like to know whether Unicode 3.1 takes care of all characters of
    'Hongkong Supplimentary Character Set - 2001' (HKSCS-2001) ?

    In case they are taken care of is it done using Surrogates_area block ?

    Regards,
    Sourav
