surrogates
Also referred to as surrogate pair. Combination of special low and high surrogate characters for addressing characters in the surrogate area when using UTF-16. High surrogate characters range from U+D800 to U+DBFF. Low surrogate characters range from U+DC00 to U+DFFF. They are called surrogates because they do not directly represent one character but only as a pair. High and low surrogates can only be part of a surrogate pair and cannot appear on their own in a valid UTF-16 string. While UTF-16 with surrogates is the system code page of an AS ABAP the ABAP programming language supports UCS-2 and interprets a surrogate character as two characters.
