Editing UTF-16 (section)

=== U+0000 to U+D7FF and U+E000 to U+FFFF ===
{{hatnote|U+D800 to U+DFFF have a special purpose, see below.}}
Both UTF-16 and UCS-2 encode code points in this range as single 16-bit code units that are numerically equal to the corresponding code points. These code points in the [[Plane (Unicode)#Basic Multilingual Plane|Basic Multilingual Plane]] (BMP) are the ''only'' code points that can be represented in UCS-2.{{Citation needed|date=November 2015}} As of Unicode 9.0, some modern non-Latin Asian, Middle-Eastern, and African scripts fall outside this range, as do most [[emoji]] characters.
