surrogate
Also called 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 since they represent
a character as a pair only and not directly. The ABAP programming
language supports UCS-2 , which means
mainly UTF -16 without surrogates , and interprets a
surrogate character as two characters.
