1. That page is a little out of date (although a wonderful resource).

2. Although UCS theoretically allows 2^31 code points, it will never
encode any character higher than U+10FFFF.

3. There are already some stuff assigned to plane 2, 14, 15, and 16 (the
latest two for private use characters). There is a plan to use plane 3
also.
