EVALUATION This will be considered for the Merlin release. **** After consideration, there will be no additional surrogate support in Merlin outside of the char converter support for updated UTF8. john.oconner@Eng 2000-10-11 **** Support for supplementary characters (the new name for surrogate characters) is being addresssed in Tiger through feature 4533872 and JSR 204. ###@###.### 2003-08-18
