Hi.
I took several minutes to scan through your post and I am not sure what you
are asking. Would you like to see some examples, for instance, of real
(assigned) code points that require encoding by surrogate pairs to be
represented as Java char? Looking at what you are trying to do, I think I

IETF defines this as part of one of the very early RFCs on SMTP, FTP, or
TELNET but has not defined it in a separate RFC. Essentially, it is 7-bit
ASCII (ANSI X3.4-1986) but the IETF may not include the ASCII control
characters.

Particularly, what effect or interpretation might it have in communication
