None of the code values ending in 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF refer to characters,
i.e., 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF, 0x1FFFE, 0x1FFFF, etc. These values exist for
internal use only.

Clarification request: Does that mean
None of the code values ending in 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF refer to characters?

or

Not all of the code values ending in 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF refer to characters
(i..e some do and some do not)?
