This is good, but I'd write hexadecimal 0x3FF instead of decimal 1023,

Hi!
For those of you who _are_ programmers (or at least
know a little C), there is a somewhat easier formaula
to convert between utf16 and utf32 for plane1 and above
(the offset 0x1 in the high surraogate can be fix
shifted and included in the constant term):
utf16high = 0xD7C0 + (utf32 >> 10

Thank you for this. I should have read the man page of bc more
carefully. (or I used to know it but forgot...)

A temperature scale enumerates the degrees -273, -272, -271, ..., 0, 1, 2, ...
