Well, last week, it was *my* memory that was out to lunch. Indeed, 
Win9x/Me does not supporte rendering of supplementary plane characters. 
What you'd see, then, is a pair of boxes (or other .notdef glyph). In 
terms of what can be entered reliably into a doc, what I had was correct, 
though it's of limited use if the user can't actually see the glyphs.
