I understand why surrogate pairs exist in javascript - to encode unicode values greater than 16 bits. The 'OK hand' emoji is 0x1F44C which is 17 bits long.

But what are the two-part 'html entities' for? AFAIK html entity codes - 'ampersand codes' - are only useful to display a unicode glyph. And unlike javascript encoding there is no limit on the length of the entity code string.

(line 28 has a missing ' BTW)
