significant bits of any high surrogate in the range U+DB80 through to
U+DBFF. The 1024 is from all possible permutations of the ten least
significant bits of any low surrogate in the range U+DC00 through to U+DFFF.

I would strongly suggest that instead of correcting the U+6AC, we

As conclusion, I would say that we can still preserve the existing U+6AC

dear unicoder:
Could someone tell me the story about JIS x0213 and how could we encode
