/**
 * <p>
 * Standalone utility class providing UTF16 character conversions and indexing conversions.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Code that uses strings alone rarely need modification. By design, UTF-16 does not allow overlap,
 * so searching for strings is a safe operation. Similarly, concatenation is always safe.
 * Substringing is safe if the start and end are both on UTF-32 boundaries. In normal code, the
 * values for start and end are on those boundaries, since they arose from operations like
 * searching. If not, the nearest UTF-32 boundaries can be determined using <code>bounds()</code>.
 * </p>
 * <strong>Examples:</strong>
 * <p>
 * The following examples illustrate use of some of these methods.
 * 
 * <pre>
 * // iteration forwards: Original
 * for (int i = 0; i &lt; s.length(); ++i) {
 *     char ch = s.charAt(i);
 *     doSomethingWith(ch);
 * }
 * 
 * // iteration forwards: Changes for UTF-32
 * int ch;
 * for (int i = 0; i &lt; s.length(); i += UTF16.getCharCount(ch)) {
 *     ch = UTF16.charAt(s, i);
 *     doSomethingWith(ch);
 * }
 * 
 * // iteration backwards: Original
 * for (int i = s.length() - 1; i &gt;= 0; --i) {
 *     char ch = s.charAt(i);
 *     doSomethingWith(ch);
 * }
 * 
 * // iteration backwards: Changes for UTF-32
 * int ch;
 * for (int i = s.length() - 1; i &gt; 0; i -= UTF16.getCharCount(ch)) {
 *     ch = UTF16.charAt(s, i);
 *     doSomethingWith(ch);
 * }
 * </pre>
 * 
 * <strong>Notes:</strong>
 * <ul>
 * <li> <strong>Naming:</strong> For clarity, High and Low surrogates are called <code>Lead</code>
 * and <code>Trail</code> in the API, which gives a better sense of their ordering in a string.
 * <code>offset16</code> and <code>offset32</code> are used to distinguish offsets to UTF-16
 * boundaries vs offsets to UTF-32 boundaries. <code>int char32</code> is used to contain UTF-32
 * characters, as opposed to <code>char16</code>, which is a UTF-16 code unit. </li>
 * <li> <strong>Roundtripping Offsets:</strong> You can always roundtrip from a UTF-32 offset to a
 * UTF-16 offset and back. Because of the difference in structure, you can roundtrip from a UTF-16
 * offset to a UTF-32 offset and back if and only if <code>bounds(string, offset16) != TRAIL</code>.
 * </li>
 * <li> <strong>Exceptions:</strong> The error checking will throw an exception if indices are out
 * of bounds. Other than than that, all methods will behave reasonably, even if unmatched surrogates
 * or out-of-bounds UTF-32 values are present. <code>UCharacter.isLegal()</code> can be used to
 * check for validity if desired. </li>
 * <li> <strong>Unmatched Surrogates:</strong> If the string contains unmatched surrogates, then
 * these are counted as one UTF-32 value. This matches their iteration behavior, which is vital. It
 * also matches common display practice as missing glyphs (see the Unicode Standard Section 5.4,
 * 5.5). </li>
 * <li> <strong>Optimization:</strong> The method implementations may need optimization if the
 * compiler doesn't fold static final methods. Since surrogate pairs will form an exceeding small
 * percentage of all the text in the world, the singleton case should always be optimized for. </li>
 * </ul>

     * UTF16.lastIndexOf("abc", "c", 2) returns 2<br>
