That is the complete Unicode range. There are no Unicode scalar values above U+10FFFF and never will be (as distinct from Unicode scalar values that are not, or not yet, assigned to characters). So that is no limitation at all. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan cowan@xxxxxxxx Let's face it: software is crap. Feature-laden and bloated, written under tremendous time-pressure, often by incapable coders, using dangerous languages and inadequate tools, trying to connect to heaps of broken or obsolete protocols, implemented equally insufficiently, running on unpredictable hardware -- we are all more than used to brokenness. --Felix Winkelmann
