  • Key Concepts: 
    Supplementary code point is a term used in SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component. It is a Unicode character that is not part of the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) and requires two 16-bit code units to represent it. Supplementary code points are used to represent characters from languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
    
    How to use it: 
    Supplementary code points are used in SAP's BC-I18 Internationalization (I18N) component to represent characters from languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. They are used in conjunction with the Unicode character set to ensure that all characters from these languages can be represented accurately.
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When working with supplementary code points, it is important to remember that they require two 16-bit code units to represent them. This means that they will take up more space than regular Unicode characters. It is also important to note that some characters may not be supported by the Unicode character set and may require additional coding or special software to be represented accurately.
