In another post surrogate pairs have been denoted as a specialty of a 16 
Bit coding (UCS-2), and I did not understand why this was introduced in 
a discussion about UTF-8. I just accepted that this somehow would leak 
into UTF-8 as a special (alternate) way to code certain Unicode characters.

I did not think about calling the up to four bytes of a normal UTF-8 
"character" "surrogates" (to me these are "codes" or something like this).

Sorry if I introduced any confusion. :(
