The following tables comprise a real-size map of Plane 1, the SMP (Supplementary Multilingual Plane) of the UCS (Universal Character Set). To print the HTML document it may be necessary to set the print percentage to 90% as the tables are wider than A4 or US Letter paper. The tables are formatted to use the Times font.

The following conventions are used in the table to help the user identify the status of the proposals here (colours can be seen in the updated HTML version of this document, https://www.egt.ie/standards/iso10646/smp-roadmap-table.html. The PDF version of this document http://www.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc2/wg2/docs/n2314.pdf is probably more convenient for printing.

Bold text indicates an allocated (i.e. published) character collection.
(Bold text between parentheses) indicates scripts which have been accepted for processing toward inclusion in the standard.
(Text between parentheses) indicates scripts for which proposals have been submitted to WG2 or the UTC.
¿Text beween question marks? indicates scripts for which detailed proposals have not yet been written.
??? in a block indicates that no suggestion has been made regarding the block allocation.

NOTE: With regard to the revision practice employed in this document, when scripts are actually proposed to WG2 or to the UTC, the practice is to "front" them in the zones to which they are tentatively allocated, and to adjust the block size with regard to the allocation proposed.

The size and location of the unallocated script blocks are merely proposals based on the current state of planning. The size and location of a script may change during final allocation of the script.

NOTE: As far as is possible, half-row (128) and four-row (1024) boundaries are observed in planning. The SMP is tentatively mapped out to the following zones.

00010000-000102FF Aegean scripts
00010300-000107FF Alphabetic and syllabic LTR scripts
00010800-00010FFF Alphabetic and syllabic RTL scripts
