The description of UTF-16 fails to distinguish between Unicode characters and UTF-16 code units. This oversight frequently leads to code bugs when handling text because developers end up treating individual surrogate code units as a complete character. Such bugs violate global readiness and internationalization best-practice guidelines. This change adds a note explaining this distinction and points to another topic with more details.
