Unicode blocks in ConTeXt (view source)

The number of code points in a block varies. Some, such as the block named {{code|Syriac Supplement}}, have just 16 code points, and some others, such as the block named {{code|CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B}} with 42720 elements, have thousands of code points.
Every assigned code point belongs to some block, but there are blocks which contain unassigned code points too; for example, the block named {{code|Telugu}} contains the unassigned code point 0C50. LastlyOn the other hand, there are some code points, necessarily unassigned, which do not belong to any block; the code point 0870 is one such. Thus, the set of all assigned code points is a proper subset of the union of all the blocks, and the union of all the blocks is a proper subset of the Unicode code space.
== ConTeXt names of Unicode blocks ==
ConTeXt has its own names for all the Unicode blocks. Most of them are obtained by converting the Unicode name of the block to the lower case, and removing the hyphens and spaces in the name. The article entitled [[List of Unicode blocks]] contains a table of Unicode blocks, their ConTeXt names, and links to more information about them.
