Imo this is quite hard to read, especially with `i++` inside of the if statement. What do you think about changing it to this? 
```java 
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    if (isHighSurrogate(seq.charAt(i)) && 
         i+1 < length && 
         isLowSurrogate(seq.charAt(i+1))) {

         n--;
         i++;
    }
}
