Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Debian stable Packages KCharSelect only supports 16-bit Unicode codepoints 0000-FFFF, e.g. the basic multilingual plane (BMP); the 'Table' field only accepts numbers 0-255. But there are thousands of additional codepoints in the 'astral planes', which start at 10000. KCharSelect should allow their selection.
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
QChar treats all characters as 16-bit numbers, making it impossible to use higher planes in today's Qt. I have filled a bug report/suggestion to Qt for this, and will update this bug report as I find out more.
Qt Software have opened a task for this suggestion. You can track it at http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?id=246840&method=entry

Hello -- I believe there is no active bug on Qt corresponding to this bug. When I ask the new Qt bugtracker to find old "task tracker bug 246840" (http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=&customfield_10141=246840) it turns up http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-3690 which I *don't* think is exactly the cause of this bug.
This ticket needs to be reassigned: I no longer maintain this module.

Yep, the unicode range in kcharselect seems to be limited to 65535 (code point / decimal entity), i.e. 0xffff. If I search for 65536, it gives me the 0x6553 character.

KCharSelect has such great search features, but is so horribly out of date. Onioncode 8 is going to come out soon with more new 3 and 4-byte characters. Are you guys just lazy or what?
Have you tried submitting a patch?

Comment #2 still applies.

Git commit 7baa78ca83ab3c47d2f03259959ec25e59b2f711 by Christoph Feck. Committed on 23/07/2016 at 01:42. Pushed by cfeck into branch 'master'. [KCharSelect] Handle characters outside BMP This is the initial commit to support Unicode code points outside of QChar range U+0000..U+FFFF. To fix this, multiple steps are needed: - a new API, which is not based on QChar, but uses uint datatype for code points (provided by this commit), - a new database, which has information about symbols outside the BMP range. This commit uses a temporary remapping trick to inject SMP symbols (U+1Fxxx) into the Private Use Area until we have a new data base format, - applications that use the new uint based API (not provided by this commit). See KF5 Porting Notes for porting information.

For the KDE Applications 16.12 release in December it will be possible to select characters from the following additional blocks with the kcharselect application. To see them, modern fonts need to be installed. Other applications using the KCharSelect widget (e.g. Calligra, LabPlot, Kexi, Konversation, Krita, KXStitch) need to be updated separately. U+1F000..U+1F0FF Mahjong Tiles, Domino Tiles, Playing Cards U+1F100..U+1F1FF Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement U+1F200..U+1F2FF Enclosed Ideographic Supplement U+1F300..U+1F5FF Miscellaneous Symbols and Pictographs U+1F600..U+1F64F Emoticons U+1F650..U+1F67F Ornamental Dingbats U+1F680..U+1F6FF Transport and Map Symbols U+1F700..U+1F77F Alchemical Symbols U+1F780..U+1F7FF Geometric Shapes Extended U+1F800..U+1F8FF Supplemental Arrows-C U+1F900..U+1F9FF Supplemental Symbols and Pictographs It is possible to use other characters, e.g. U+1D000, by searching for the code point. Keeping this open until we have a new database format which allows to browse remaining blocks (historical scripts, Han ideograph extensions, etc). If you have suggestions how to improve browsing (especially Han ideographs, which need to be extended to over 80,000), please write to the kde-utils-devel list, or add a ticket here.
