The Basic Multilingual Plane.  That's the first 64K code points defined 
by Unicode, which includes the most popular characters.  (You can imagine 
that everybody and their dog wants to make their characters part of the 
BMP.)

You can find more about this, including the entire Unicode Standard, 
on-line at http://www.unicode.org.  They have a nice glossary there, 
among other things.
