为什么Unicode有几个保留字符代码？
请参阅两种语言的Unicode - Kannada和Tamil。
这两种语言都很老，我认为没有机会为这些语言添加新角色
编辑：那么为什么他们通过制作保留字符代码来浪费一些字符代码呢？
为什么他们没有在每个语言字符集的末尾放置保留字符代码？
答案 0 :(得分：3)
这与Unicode联盟如何分配其分配的块，脚本和代码点有关。例如，在Block=Tamil中，它的开头就是这样运行的：
$ unichars '\p{Block=Tamil}' | head -20
U+00B82 ◌ஂ GC=Mn SC=Tamil TAMIL SIGN ANUSVARA
U+00B83 ஃ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL SIGN VISARGA
U+00B85 அ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER A
U+00B86 ஆ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER AA
U+00B87 இ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER I
U+00B88 ஈ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER II
U+00B89 உ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER U
U+00B8A ஊ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER UU
U+00B8E எ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER E
U+00B8F ஏ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER EE
U+00B90 ஐ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER AI
U+00B92 ஒ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER O
U+00B93 ஓ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER OO
U+00B94 ஔ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER AU
U+00B95 க GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER KA
U+00B99 ங GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER NGA
U+00B9A ச GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER CA
U+00B9C ஜ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER JA
U+00B9E ஞ GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER NYA
U+00B9F ட GC=Lo SC=Tamil TAMIL LETTER TTA
他们倾向于为所有相同的“种类”角色保留连续的4,8或16个代码点行。是的，那里存在差距，但是就像文件系统中的一样，一旦你将一个扇区（或块中没有单独的扇区）分配给一个文件，即使该文件不使用其中的所有内容（最后）扇区，你不要将那些未使用的字节赠送给其他进程。无论如何，事情往往会被填补以阻挡边界。
这并不像我们有任何代码用完的风险。
这是分配区域的开头以“Signs”开头，如该块中第一个分配的代码点所示。差距可能代表从一种角色到另一种角色的变化。如果您查看块中前五个代码点的属性，您会看到那些未分配的代码点仍具有正确的块属性：

如果查看其他已分配的块，您会看到同样的事情。将块分成不相关的东西是没有意义的。
正如我所说，并不是说它们会耗尽空间，所以我不知道这里有什么问题。
顺便说一下，您可以从unichars获取Unicode探索和处理工具，例如uniprops，uninames，Unicode Command-Line Toolchest，可以单独从那里获得，也可以通过CPANUnicode::Tussle suite
