The Unicode standard describes how characters are represented by **code points**. A code point value is an integer in the range 0 to -0x10FFFF (about 1.1 million values, with some 110 thousand assigned so -far). In the standard and in this document, a code point is written +0x10FFFF (about 1.1 million values, the +`actual number assigned <https://www.unicode.org/versions/latest/#Summary>`_ +is less than that).
