AFAIK it's only a factor 17 up to u+10FFFF, and the relevant
standards like STD 63 eplicitly restrict themselves to this
UTF-16 compatible range incl. many "private use" code points,
surrogates, (yet) unassigned code points, non-characters, etc.

Your points are valid even without this "31 bits horror trip".
