V0185: Only characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane are converted to uppercase

The specification states:

 ... String.prototype.toUpperCase ( )
  
     This function interprets a String value as a sequence of UTF-16 encoded code points, 
     as described in 6.1.4.
  
     This function behaves in exactly the same way as String.prototype.toLowerCase, except 
     that code points are mapped to their uppercase equivalents as specified in the 
     Unicode Character Database.

Only those characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (values no greater than 0xFFFF) are converted to uppercase. Others are left unchanged.
