The Tags range was introduced with version 3.1 of the Unicode Standard and is located in Plane 14 (the Supplementary Special-purpose Plane). Windows XP and later versions support supplementary characters by default. In Windows 2000, you need to enable support for supplementary characters. These characters cannot easily be displayed in earlier versions of Windows.
The characters in this range are solely for use in tagging languages in Unicode plain text. Their use is permitted only with special protocols; they must not be used with HTML, XML, or any other protocol that has another means of identifying languages, and they must not be used in the absence of a protocol. Their use is confined to tags; they must never be used for textual content. In addition to characters corresponding to 32–126 in the Basic Latin range, there is one character that identifies a tag string as a language tag and one cancel character. The language tag itself should use strings of the type specified in RFC 3066 Tags for the Identification of Languages (or its successors).
You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode font Code2001.
The characters in this range are not permitted in HTML, and therefore only the code points and names are shown in the following table. You can see a graphical display of the characters at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UE0000.pdf.
