self assert: [
(System bigEndian
ifTrue: [(Utf16 with: 16r3DD8 with: 16r00DE) asUnicodeString]
ifFalse: [(Utf16 with: 16rD83D with: 16rDE00) asUnicodeString]) first name = 'GRINNING FACE'].
'Invalid because of isolated surrogate - 16rD800'.

Answers:
<UnicodeString>
isValid
Answer true if the content of the container represents valid UTF-16 data
encoded in the endian type defined by the container.
Examples:
'Grinning Face (U+1F600) in platform endian'.
self assert: [
System bigEndian
ifTrue: [(Utf16 with: 16r3DD8 with: 16r00DE) isValid]
ifFalse: [(Utf16 with: 16rD83D with: 16rDE00) isValid]].
'Invalid because of isolated surrogate - 16rD800'.
self assert: [(Utf16LE with: 16rD83D with: 16rD800) isValid not]
