lowChar

highChar

A Char containing the high surrogate. This must be a value between 0xD800 and 0xDBFF.

Exceptions

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentException	An invalid surrogate character pair was passed.
InvalidOperationException	The System.Xml.XmlWriter.WriteState is System.Xml.WriteState.Closed.

Description

[Note: Applications encode DOM strings using UTF-16. For both HTML and XML, the document character set (and therefore the notation of numeric character references) is based on UCS [ISO-10646]. A single numeric character reference in a source document might therefore in some cases correspond to two 16-bit units in a DOM string (a high surrogate and a low surrogate). These 16-bit units are referred to as a surrogate pair.

For more information regarding surrogates or characters, refer to section 3.7 of the Unicode 3.0/Unicode 2.0 standard located at http://www.unicode.org, or section 2.2 of the W3C XML 1.0 Recommendation located at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#charsets.

]

[Behaviors: This method generates and writes the surrogate character entity for a surrogate character pair. The surrogate character entity is written in hexadecimal format. The range for surrogate characters is #x10000 to #x10FFFF. The following formula is used to generate the surrogate character entity: (highChar - 0xD800) * 0x400 + (lowChar - 0xDC00) + 0x10000. ]
