I've encountered a weird one. But I don't remember if it was a surrogate or not. I just remember it didn't print to the console properly (it cooked it) or didn't save to source as a literal value or something.
It came up as whitespace, but only when I used these huge "not ranges" which are like [^a-z] (anything but a lower case letter)
that "anything" part created ranges all throughout the 16-bit unicode spectrum.
And that's when I ran into issues with one whitespace character.

Only works for 16 bit unicode values. Not these 32bit surrogates

idea: research using Unicode categories in your RegEx ? [^]

I am using those.
The category for surrogates is surrogate. Not helpful.
Combining a hi and lo surrogate you get a 2 char string.
The 2 char string cannot be queried for its unicode category in .NET AFAIK

It is a mess, but, check this against what you expect, now:
public void PrintUniCodeRange(int sc, int ec)
{
bool isKey;
string key = "";
for (int i = sc; i <= ec; i++)
{
string ucString = char.ConvertFromUtf32(i);
isKey = i < 256;
if (isKey) key = ((Keys)Enum.Parse(typeof(Keys), i.ToString())).ToString();
UnicodeCategory cat = Char.GetUnicodeCategory(ucString, 0);
if (cat != UnicodeCategory.OtherNotAssigned)
{
Console.WriteLine($"#{i} | Unicode Category: {cat} {(isKey ? "! Keys Enum: " + key : "")}");
}
}
}Calling the above with 8192 to 8233 parameters:

hmm, I wonder what my test was doing wrong, because GetUnicodeCategory(string, int) was returning only single char values for me i thought. maybe i had a bug

Thank you! Turns out there was a bug in my code where i wasn't passing doublechar strings in. They ended up single char.

Yet it annoyed me (a lot more than it should have) that France and Poland didn't adhere to the use of the country's name!

Why would France do it lie anyone else?

Telling that there wasn't one for Germany. DoneMark is very close to how it's actually pronounced natively (in Norwegian and Swedish, at any rate; Danish has been referred to as a throat disease rather than a language).

Frédéric Chopin - Impromptu no. 4 in C sharp minor, Op. posth. 66 (Fantaisie Impromptu)[^]
If, a few years back, you told me I'd be listening to Chopin I'd tell you you're crazy.
I didn't care much for the many piano notes that don't always seem to have a head or tails.
But I heard this on the radio on my way to piano lessons.
It sounded familiar, but I don't know from where.
The first bars are the same as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, but it's the bars after that that sounded familiar.
Well, it's one of Chopin's most famous pieces so I probably just heard it here and there.
Funny thing is that it was published after Chopin's death even though Chopin explicitly stated he didn't want anything published after he passed.
So this is my first SOTW of 2020.
Chopin would be proud

We all grow up sooner or later.
Soon enough you'll be listening to Eric Satie and Joaquin Rodrigo.

That's what I was listening to earlier today.
It's very soundtracky and very nice
