To decode U+10437 (𐐷) from UTF-16: Take the high surrogate (0xD801) and subtract 0xD800, then multiply by 0x400, resulting in 0x0001 × 0x400 = 0x0400. Take the low surrogate (0xDC37) and subtract 0xDC00, resulting in 0x37. Add these two results together (0x0437), and finally add 0x10000 to get the final code point, 0x10437.
UTF-16 is popular because many APIs date to the time when Unicode was 16-bit fixed width (referred as UCS-2). However, using UTF-16 makes characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane a special case which increases the risk of oversights related to their handling. That said, programs that mishandle surrogate pairs probably also have problems ...
The limit of 17 planes is due to UTF-16, which can encode 2 20 code points (16 planes) as pairs of words, plus the BMP as a single word. [2] UTF-8 was designed with a much larger limit of 2 31 (2,147,483,648) code points (32,768 planes), and would still be able to encode 2 21 (2,097,152) code points (32 planes) even under the current limit of 4 ...
The Unicode Consortium and the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2 jointly collaborate on the list of the characters in the Universal Coded Character Set.The Universal Coded Character Set, most commonly called the Universal Character Set (abbr. UCS, official designation: ISO/IEC 10646), is an international standard to map characters, discrete symbols used in natural language, mathematics, music, and other ...
A high-surrogate code point followed by a low-surrogate code point forms a surrogate pair in UTF-16 in order to represent code points greater than U+FFFF. In principle, these code points cannot otherwise be used, though in practice this rule is often ignored, especially when not using UTF-16.
No. Surrogate code points are only used in UTF-16, and are invalid in UTF-32 an UTF-8. BabelStone ( talk ) 18:39, 25 September 2016 (UTC) [ reply ] They can technically be encoded in UTF-32 and UTF-8, but that's not valid according to Unicode standard.
Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

The Universal Coded Character Set (UCS, Unicode) is a standard set of characters defined by the international standard ISO/IEC 10646, Information technology — Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) (plus amendments to that standard), which is the basis of many character encodings, improving as characters from previously unrepresented writing systems are added.
