With unicode itself scripts are allocated to the BMP or plane 1 based
largely on the principal of is there a modern user community of a
certain size, rather than put everything to the BMP. If the same had
been done with CJKV then things would look very different, many
Extension A characters would be in plane 2, or even plane 3, this
would leave space in the BMP for characters submitted later but or
modern use, and cjkv characters would follow the convention used for
almost every other script.
