There are, if I avoided double counting errors, 56,251 assigned
characters in the BMP in Unicode 10.0.0. There are 1008 standardised
variation sequences, all in the BMP. Indic scripts require more glyphs
than they have characters - usually at least twice as many. You have
the read chapter on Devanagari, haven't you?
