Line 25: UTF-16 was devised to break free of the 65,536-character limit of the original Unicode (1.x) without breaking compatibility with the 16-bit encoding. In UTF-16, singletons have the range 0000-D7FF and E000-FFFF, lead units the range D800-DBFF and trail units the range DC00-DFFF. The lead and trail units, called in Unicode terminology high surrogates and low surrogates respectively, map 1024×1024 or 1,048,576 numbers, making for a maximum of possible 1,114,112 codepoints in Unicode. ==See Also== *[[wchar_t]] wide characters {{character encoding}}
