I though this is where I could ask questions of experts to help my simplistic knowledge of C# expand.

I just want to convert U+2A601 to 𪘁. Anyone know how?

I'm not sure what you're on about with the 20-bits thing

Hex value 2A601 is five digits which is 20-bits, Unicode characters are only 16 bits

I want to know how to get the correct character from a unicode value which has a surrogate key. For example:

public string myImaginaryMethod()
{
   string original = "\u2A601";
   string highSurrogate = GetHighSurrogate(original); // returns "\uD869";
   string lowSurrogate = GetLowSurrogate(original); returns "\uDE01";
   return highSurrogate + lowSurrogate; //returns 𪘁
}

It seems nobody knows how to get this and it is driving me nuts

public static string ConvertUnicodeToCharacter(string unicodeValue)
        {
            int unicode = int.Parse(unicodeValue.Substring(2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);

            if (unicodeValue.Length == 7) //UTF-32
            {
                return char.ConvertFromUtf32(unicode);
            }

            return ((char)unicode).ToString(); //UTF-16
        }

int unicode = int.Parse(unicodeValue.Substring(2), NumberStyles.HexNumber);
return char.ConvertFromUtf32(unicode);

int unicode, hi, lo;
unicode=0x0002A601;
hi = (unicode - 0x10000) / 0x400 + 0xD800;
lo = (unicode - 0x10000) % 0x400 + 0xDC00;

string s = new String(new char[] { Convert.ToChar(hi), Convert.ToChar(lo) });
