Also note that Plane 14 tags are stored in surrogate form when UTF-16
is used (which happens quite often on some well known operating system).
So they are stored using (WCHAR_T[2])({0xDB40, 0xDC00 - 0xDC7F}).
So the | with 0x20 should be done *only* on the second surrogate
codepoint, because if done on the first, result will be offseted by
0x8000 (0xE8020 - 0xE803F and 0xE8060 - 0xE807F).
