first 63,486 characters are represented in 16 bits -- remaining 2,048 combined with a following 16-bit value to represent another 1,048,544 characters as a pair of 16-bit values -- U+FFFE is used as a byte-order indicator
comment

Comment:
byte order dependent: big-endian encoded (called UTF-16BE) or little-endian (UTF-16LE)
