Type the UTF-32 code for the
character instead of the surrogate pair. For example to get a math italic i,
type 1D456 and then Alt+x. Lone surrogate codes aren't desirable. RichEdit does
allow the high code to come in alone via the WM_CHAR message, since some IMEs
can only work with 16 bits at a time. WM_UNICHAR takes the UTF-32 code as
well.

Subject: Surrogates in WordPad
Hello,
In Windows 2000 WordPad I can type a high
surrogate code, press Alt+X, then
type a low surrogate code, press Alt+X
again and obtain the corresponding
character. This does not seem to
work in Windows XP WordPad. Is there a way
to enable this functionality
in XP WordPad?
My guess is that the new RichEdit control might not accept
surrogates in order
to prevent isolated surrogates from being entered.
I would appreciate any
qualified comments.
Thank
you,
Laurentiu
