Perhaps it would be useful to know that such a pair represents single character when the first number is in the range 0xD800-0xDBFF and the second number is in the range 0xDC00-0xDFFF. The pair represents a character with a code in the range 0x00010000-0x0010FFFF.
Conversely, only convert a code to two surrogates if it is in the range 0x00010000-0x0010FFFF. There are no characters with codes above 0x0010FFFF. No pair is needed for characters with codes 0x0000-0xFFFF. >From those, you can see that the full Unicode range is 0x000000-0x0010FFFF >with a hole at 0x00D800-0x00DFFF for surrogates. I see you have created a function to create a code (representing a character) from two surrogates. I’ll leave that alone.
