How so? Section 2.5, UTF-16 says "code points in the supplementary planes, in the range U+10000..U+10FFFF, are represented as pairs of 16-bit code units." So clearly, code points in Unicode range from U+0000..U+10FFFF, independent of encoding form. In UTF-16, code units range from 0..65535. OTOH, "unicode scalar value" is nearly synonymous to "code point": D76 Unicode Scalar Value. Any Unicode code point except high-surrogate and low-surrogate code points. So codepoint in Terry's message was the right term.
