Not in my proposal! "\ud800\udc00"=== "\u+010000" is false in my proposal.
One has length 2 and one has length. You are confusing the logical
interpretation of a UTF-16 encoded character sequence with the actual character
encoding . To get an equality in the context of my proposal you would have to
say something like:
UTF16Decode("\ud800\udc00") === "\u+010000"
or
"\ud800\udc00" === UTF16Encode("u+010000")
