Surrogate pairs have nothing to do with Mac OS X. Surrogate pairs are

In fact I was not aware of the UTF-16 coding scheme. I _supposed_ it
would work similar as UTF-8 (highest bit set => 32 bit value composed
from the 31 remaining bits of this and the next word and bit 31 reset)
and thus could be decoded algorithmically. Seemingly I was wrong and a
huge table is needed to decode UTF16.
But in fact we have just been discussing UTF-8. If here, surrogates
are unnecessary, and thus using them seems "funny" to me.
