UCS-2 has no surrogate pairs. It is a fixed 2-byte encoding (which does 
not cover the whole Unicode charset). I guess you're thinking about 
UTF-16. If you wanted to handle that then the easiest approach would be 
do first decode the UTF-16 chars into plain Unicode and then re-encode 
them as UTF-8.

I have included some UTF-16 decoding routines in this email. This time 
as an attachment so that the code formatting is not totally messed up.

Again, use this however you want.
