Speaking of Plane 1 characters...

[John Hudson]

One of the tools I use for building fonts requires that codepoints for Plane 1 characters be expressed as surrogate pairs, rather than as scalar values. I'm hoping this will change on the next release, since the scalar values are a lot easier to work with, but in the meantime I need to figure out the easiest way to find the correct surrogate pair values for any given scalar value. Is there a comprehensive list somewhere, or an easy alogorithm (easy for a non-programmer)? How about a web-based form, into which someone could enter scalar values and receive back surrogate pairs?
