CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C

U+2A700 – U+2B73F   (173824–177983)

The CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C range was introduced with version 5.2.0 of the Unicode Standard and provides over 4,000 new ideographs, in addition to those in the CJK Unified Ideographs, CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A, CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B and CJK Unified Ideographs Extension D ranges. The CJK Unified Ideographs Extension C range is located in Plane 2 (the Supplementary Ideographic Plane). Windows XP and later versions support supplementary characters by default. In Windows 2000, you need to enable support for supplementary characters. These characters cannot easily be displayed in earlier versions of Windows.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode font BabelStone Han and HanaMin Regular.

To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or Apple’s Character Palette.

You can try out your browser and fonts with simplified Chinese text at http://www.microsoft.com/China/, with traditional Chinese text at http://www.microsoft.com/Taiwan/ and http://www.apple.com.tw/, with Japanese text at http://www.microsoft.com/japan/ and http://www.apple.co.jp/, and with Korean text at http://www.microsoft.com/Korea/ and http://www.applecomputer.co.kr/.

There are too many characters in this range to display in a single HTML file. You can find a document that displays them all at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2A700.pdf.
