 * fit into 16 bits; as of Unicode 5 valid code points range from 0
 * to 0x10ffff (17 planes, where each plane holds 65536 code points).
 *
 * The original decision to represent Unicode characters as 16-bit
 * wchar_t values is now outdated.  But plane 0 still includes the
 * most commonly used characters, so we will retain it.  The newer
 * 32-bit unicode_t type can be used when it is necessary to
 * represent the full Unicode character set.
