Correct. The current "Prime Sans" font already contains over 30,000 characters. But that's only a tiny fraction of the number of code points which have been officially defined by Unicode.

This is kind of off topic, but it would be nice if the Prime connectivity kit had a "Char" function that would allowed one to insert any one of the "30,000 characters" into a program when writing a program on the computer using the connectivity kit. Currently, I have to save the program to the virtual calculator, open the saved program in edit mode on the virtual calculator, insert the special character using the "char" key on the virtual calculator, send the program back to the connectivity kit, refresh the program on the connectivity, and continue with programming. That is a lot of work just to type one special character.
