Hello. Basic Multilingual Plane is range of Unicode characters in 0-65535 and it contains most of the characters needed by most of the languages of the world. By keeping an array with pointers to such characters at the cost of 128KiB per font we can almost instantenously lookup characters which are likely to be used in grub.
