>That gives us a space of about 11 million code points. About 170,000, or 15%, are currently defined. An additional 11% are reserved for private use. The rest, about 800,000 code points, are not allocated at the moment. They could become characters in the future.

Yeah, the author's numbers are off by a "0". It should be "1,700,000" and "8,000,000".
