ACS Emulator support for Unicode is UCS-2 (13448) only, please include support surrogates (more than 2 byets over 2xxxx)

According to our development ACS Emulator support for Unicode is UCS-2
(13488) only, that is Basic Multilingual Plan (BMP), and does NOT include
support for surrogates.

Both UCS-2 (13488) and UTF-16 (1200) are composed of 2 bytes only.
So 2XXXX is not supported because it is more than 2 bytes.

But currently, we can use Big-5 and saved in DB2
As win 10 supports Unicode Input method only (no more Big-5 input method), we cannot input the some chineses char (the one more than 2 bytes) any more
Example


Use Case:

char in problem (unicode contains more than 2 bytes)
http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=%F0%A1%A2%84

Char is fine (unicode contains 2 bytes only)
http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=%E9%82%A6
