I seems this post is a bit inappropriate for this forum in its content
and given its rather bizarre immaturity of interaction with other
member, seems altogether more fitting for a kindergarten playground in .
It would be nice if such posts could be kept off this list.

It is the wording in your posts that adds to the confusion.
My fundamental point is, has been, and continues to be that whenever
people use the more general word code point instead of the more
appropriate scalar value, that will add to the confusion. If you

I have been told that Devanagari contains letters (or a letter) that
were invented merely to complete the rectangular C-V table; not sure to
what extent they (or it) were used subsequently.

Don't know what you mean here really, but the Indic scripts work at a core
syllabic C-V level, and in order to fit with real languages, it was
effectively necessary to fill the holes by inventing the implicit concept
of null consonnants that combine with vowels, even of these compound are

In what way does UTF-16 use surrogate code /points/? An encoding form
is a mapping. Let's look at this mapping:
* One _inputs_ scalar values (not surrogate code points).
* The encoding form will _output_ a short sequence of encoding
form–specific code units. (Various voices on this list

[AF:] Once you add the UTF-prefix, you are, by force, speaking of code
units.
So the high-low distinction for surrogate code points is misleading, and
the surrogate attribute for code point shouldn't be there, because, as

In fact the input is one code point.
