Some features of the proposed Basecode:
- base on BMP of Unicode with code range from 0000 to FFFF
- BTF-8 as default encoding (like UTF-8 for Unicode)
- remove most of CJK ideographs and other composable characters
- keep and supplement radicals for those composable characters
- by means of Ideographic Description characters (2FF0~2FFF) to represent those composable characters
- use libdgg (Library of dynamic glyph generator) in freetype to draw those characters
- move not composable characters outside BMP back into BMP
