The algorithm is explained here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16#Code_points_U.2B10000_to_U.2B10FFFF

Implementing it will require you to twiddle bits and no doubt the use of bitAnd, bitOr and bitXor.

I don't have time to take a stab at such a routine right now but will try if you're really stuck.
