The JDK will need to support surrogates in the near future to 
support CJK markets.  The class java.lang.Character currently 
provides a getType method that can be used for to find Unicode 
type information for a character. However, the current API does 
not support the notion of "surrogates" as defined in the Unicode 
2.0 standard. Surrogates use two Unicode values from a specified 
range to represent one logical character. We need to extend our 
getType API to return type information for surrogate characters 
as well as normal ones.  We also need to add convenience methods 
and extend the type API.  Details provided on request.
