Then surrogate errors can be escaped and might result in encoding garbage same as in python 2.

Because that's how the modern startup views itself: a family surrogate, and I'm just another extension.

Of course this doesn't free you from knowing stuff, but it means that instead of knowing exactly the range of the surrogate pairs, all you need is a mental model of what's going on.

For example, this article wants to count "graphemes", and the author goes through three versions of an algorithm to account for surrogate pairs and various combining marks.

Processing UTF-16 would only be easier if you have a valid byte-order mark and/or know the endianness in advance and you can guarantee that no surrogate pairs exist.

Otherwise the same pitfalls exist as when processing UTF-8, plus the endianness issue and the possibility of UTF-16 programmers not knowing about surrogate pairs.

They kept their bought equity and we reduced the founder's round equity by 50% each, and I reallocated it later on to two fantastic directors who have been, for near enough a year, surrogate cofounders.
