A '''Unicode block''' is an organisational unit of the Unicode code space. The Unicode code space is the set of all integers from 0 to 0x10FFF.
Every block is an interval of code points. Different blocks have different names, and are disjoint from each other. In particular, the blocks form a partition of the set of all Unicode code points. Every block has a unique name that describes the common semantic nature of its code points.
A code block starts at a code point that is a multiple of 16. The number of code points in each block is also a multiple of 16. Thus, the first code point in a block is of the form 0x''0xpqrs0pqrs''0, and the last code point in it is of the form 0x''0xtuvwFtuvw''F.
