Chinese names are the most important thing in the surrogate area. Without support for this area you cannot represent the name of the president of China! AbiWord should be the default word processor in China (: 16-bit unicode is often referred to as "the worst of both worlds". Most companies or projects that implemented Unicode back when it was forever going to be 16 bits now have many headaches.
