I can't do conversions.

$B$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i$i!#(B

Why does Unicode only have space for 1114112 glyphs?
That is 1114112, I think.

You ever notice how characters in different writing systems seem to be made out of only a small number of parts? Like if you write an N backwards, you get a Russian vowel, or if you write a five with the top stroke shorter and tilted a little bit, with the tilt just right, you get a hiragana ra?
Do font makers ever use this? Like with the five and the ra?
