UTF-8 and UTF-32 handle characters above U+FFFF with no problem.
I mean: forget about surrogates, i.e. about encoding those characters
as pairs of words in the range 0xD800..DFFF in encodings other than
UTF-16. For those encodings U+D800..DFFF are just code points like
others; they encode the whole contiguous range U+0000..10FFFF (maximum
would be U+7FFFFFFF if the idea of UTF-16 wasn't pushed so hard).
