Agree wholeheartedly with Timwi.
A small note, though... the proper name isn't "high characters" but rather "plane 1" characters or "supplementary characters" or... there's another more appropriate name for them, but I don't remember it.
"Plane 1" characters would refer only to plane 1, and not to plane 2, 3, 4, 5... 15. :)
