Editing Unicode block (section)

{{Short description|Named range of Unicode code points}}
{{for|the specific group of square characters in the Unicode typeset|Block Elements}}
A '''Unicode block''' is one of several contiguous ranges of numeric character codes ([[code point]]s) of the [[Unicode]] character set that are defined by the [[Unicode Consortium]] for administrative and documentation purposes.  Typically, proposals such as the addition of new glyphs are discussed and evaluated by considering the relevant block or blocks as a whole.

Each block is generally, but not always, meant to supply glyphs used by one or more specific languages, or in some general application area such as [[mathematics]], [[surveying]], decorative [[typesetting]], social forums, etc.
