- pyre 14y agoThis is just the original argument restated. It's not a rebuttal.

There's the Private Use Area if nothing else. There is NO excuse to not support anything other than the BMP. Adding support is trivial unless you have been using UTF-16 in the erroneous belief that it's two bytes long always (in which case you've really been using UCS-2).
