In Windows 2000 it was necessary to adjust a registry entry to enable support for surrogates, which were disabled by default. What's the situation with XP? I looked on the Microsoft developers web site but it seems to be the same information as I saw when I was dealing with Win2000 with no updates. (One of the pages references Unicode 2.0 . . .)
I did some tests and found that I can get characters outside the BMP in WordPad under XP and in Word XP by typing the Unicode scalar value followed by Alt-x; I don't recall ever changing any registry settings, but has been a while since I upgarded from Win2000 to XP. So am I correct in saying that, under XP, 1) no need to change registry and 2) the Win200 method of typing two surrogates has been replaced by typing the single scalar value plus Alt-x?
