* Section 3.1, Page 14:
For characters in the range U+0000 to U+FFFF, the values of [Unicode]
code points and UTF-16 code units are the same.
No they are not. U+D800 .. U+DFFF are not valid Unicode code points.

U+D800 .. U+DFFF are not valid Unicode code points. It says, "for characters in the range". Those are not characters in the range. -- Lew Ceci n'est pas une fenêtre. .___________. |###] | [###| |##/ | *\##| |#/ * | \#| |#----|----#| || | * || |o * | o| |_____|_____| |===========|

U+DFFF are not valid Unicode code points. > "Surrogates are code points from two special ranges of Unicode values" [Quoted from <http://www.unicode.org/faq//utf_bom.html#utf16-2>, i.e., Unicode itself] U+D800 to U+DFFF are indeed valid Unicode code points, according to Unicode itself. It just happens that they have no meaning except as a pair of values to represent non-BMP characters. -- Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it. -- Donald E. Knuth
