* Operations for random Strings.
* Currently private high surrogate characters are ignored.
* These are unicode characters that fall between the values 56192 (db80)
* and 56319 (dbff) as we don't know how to handle them.
* High and low surrogates are correctly dealt with - that is if a
* high surrogate is randomly chosen, 55296 (d800) to 56191 (db7f)
* then it is followed by a low surrogate. If a low surrogate is chosen,
* 56320 (dc00) to 57343 (dfff) then it is placed after a randomly
* chosen high surrogate.
