I've seen this said before in this thread (that UTF-8 supports 32-bit
characters).

RFC 3629, the latest UTF-8 spec I find, disagrees; it does not support
anything above 10ffff (though it could go as high as 1fffff without too
much trouble, if I'm reading it right, and could be extended to greater
widths in a tolerably obvious way).
