Some features of the proposed Basecode:
- base on BMP of Unicode with code range from 0000 to FFFF
- BTF-8 as default encoding with same rules for UTF-8
- remove most of CJK ideographs and other composable characters
- keep and supplement radicals for composable characters
- move uncomposable characters outside BMP back into BMP
Hard works will be in font-related libraries:
- by means of Ideographic Description characters (2FF0~2FFF) and data from CDP to represent composable characters
- include libdgg (Library of dynamic glyph generator) into freetype to draw composable characters
