I miswrote when I said "infrastructure"... there is clearly infrastructure
to support the characters and for "valid" pairs (that is a low surrogate
paired with a high surrogate being "one character"), but that's it. And
that's as good as, say, Win2K can do at this point.
The problem, of course, is that Java has no real way of referring to a
high-plane character itself or of getting the character properties (let
alone things like casing). That has to wait for 1.4, AFAIK. So a lot goes
into one's definition of "support"
