"Surrogates" are the codes that are used in UTF-16 to encode
characters with code points above \uFFFF.

"Tags" are codes used for in-band language tagging.

Kana, Bopomofo and some CJK compatibility and special symbols are
below \u03FF and/or above \uE000, but the major part of the CJK and
all of Hangul is unsupported.
