21 * <p>Operations for random <code>String</code>s.</p>
22 * <p>Currently <em>private high surrogate</em> characters are ignored.
23 * These are unicode characters that fall between the values 56192 (db80)
24 * and 56319 (dbff) as we don't know how to handle them.
25 * High and low surrogates are correctly dealt with - that is if a
26 * high surrogate is randomly chosen, 55296 (d800) to 56191 (db7f)
27 * then it is followed by a low surrogate. If a low surrogate is chosen,
28 * 56320 (dc00) to 57343 (dfff) then it is placed after a randomly
29 * chosen high surrogate. </p>
