> XML does NOT support UTF-16 since UTF-16 includes the surrogates
false, true, respectively.

You can not have an XML character with number in the surrogate range
precisely because they are used as surrogates.

So you can have &#x1D504; which is a single character which will be
two utf-16 quantities. What you can't do is use two &# next to each
other refering to the two parts of the surrogate pair separately.

(1D504 is MATHEMATICAL FRAKTUR CAPITAL A in th eUnicode 3.1 proposal
and the mathml spec, if this wasn't supported in XML, I've been wasting
a lot of time recently:-)
