To extend the available characters in Unicode one can use to 16 bit characters with surrogate blocks. Now in production rule #2 titled Character Range surrogate blocks are explicitly excluded (along with FFFF and FFFE). Does that mean that if one were reading a character stream that included characters not in the basic set of Unicode characters (those not using surrogate blocks) that it would be a wellformedness violation? There are the extra, beyond 16-bit, characters specified by the spec in production rule #2 as "[x10000-#x10FFFF]". Is this how Unicode characters that use the surrogate blocks get represented in an XML document? Is there an algorithm for the convertions defined somewhere? Short of getting a copy of the Unicode 2.0 spec, is there anywhere where the conversion algorithm is documented? Why was it decided to exclude the uses of surrogate block-base Unicode characters within XML documents? Thanks. Richard xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
