Private Use Area (Unicode)

⸺ by Charles Iliya Krempeaux

A private-use-area is a range of s that are intentionally not assigned any characters and are left unassigned so that applications can use them for their own custom s for their own custom characters.

Unicode currently has these three separate contiguous private‐use‐areas:

	┏━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
	┃ Start    ┃ End      ┃ Num Unassigned ┃
	┡━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
	│   U+E000 │   U+F8FF │  6,400         │
	│  U+F0000 │  U+FFFFD │ 65,534         │
	│ U+100000 │ U+10FFFD │ 65,534         │
	└──────────┴──────────┴────────────────┘

A unicode private‐use‐area is similar in idea to the computer-terminal (DRCS).
