j.l.C.isSupplementaryCodePoint() checks up boundary of supp, we probably don't need it
here, as the returning code point is either a ERROR or a valid unicode code point.

I'm not sure about the j.l.C.isSurrogate(), which takes a char and we have an int here.
I would expect the javac will inline the constants for me, but I don't know whether jit
can inline and then optimize away the explicit casting i2c. Not a big deal though.
