And now Unicode have declared themselves kneecapped to ~20 bits (1,111,998) because of it. I doubt we'll run out of space like we did with 16 bits, but never say never. The whole reason UCS-2 was used was companies saying "16 bits is enough" and then it not actually being enough. Almost every issue with Unicode is because developers made assumptions, despite Unicode themselves providing guidance saying otherwise.
