Hi John, Thanks a lot for your response.
However, I could not map the block you mentioned to the block names provided in Unicode site (http://www.unicode.org/charts/). I tried to map them based on the similarity of names and specified the actual block down below. Could you please once verify it? 35 - Private Use Area - \ue000 to \f8ff 1651 - Supplimentary Plane 2 - \2e80 - \u2f00 511 - Extension A Block - \u3400 - \u4dc0 2212 - CJK Ideographic block - \u4e00 - \u9fff 278 - Mapped elsewhere in BMP - ?? 123 - Alphabet Block - \u0000 - \u007f 8 - Compatibility Block - \u3300 - \u33ff Also please let me know the full form of BMP.

Thanks. I should know better than to write email before coffee. I overlooked the 123 mapped to the Alphabet Block and 8 mapped to the Compatibility Block. 123+8 = 131 and the totals match.

HKSCS 1999 has 4,702 characters, and HKSCS 2001 adds 116, for a total of 4818. I believe the that 131 unaccounted for in your decomposition are in the "mapped elsewhere" pile, which should be 409. Eric.
