offhand, does anyone know what convention there is for
unicode characters beyond 0xFFFF? In the older X API, there isnt
alot of support for beyond-BMP characters.

With Xft its possible to render them, but even then, things like the
true-type specification itself limit any one font to 65k distinct 
characters.
