FAQ

What is a code point?

A code point is the number assigned to each character in the Unicode standard. It is written as U+ followed by hexadecimal digits (e.g., U+0041 = Latin capital letter A).

What are surrogate pairs?

UTF-16 can directly represent characters up to U+FFFF. Characters beyond that (like emoji at U+10000+) use surrogate pairs -- two 16-bit values that together represent one character.
