C# | Char.IsSurrogatePair(String, Int32) Method

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025
This method is used to indicates whether two adjacent Char objects at a specified position in a string form a surrogate pair or not. Syntax:
public static bool IsSurrogatePair (string s, int index);
Parameters:
s: It is a String. index: It is the starting position of the pair of characters to evaluate within s.
Return Value: This method returns true if the s parameter includes adjacent characters at positions index and index + 1, and the numeric value of the character at position index ranges from U+D800 through U+DBFF, and the numeric value of the character at position index + 1 ranges from U+DC00 through U+DFFF otherwise it returns false. Exceptions:
  • ArgumentNullException: If the s is null.
  • ArgumentOutOfRangeException: If the index is not a position within s.
Below programs illustrate the use of Char.IsSurrogatePair(String, Int32) Method: Example 1:
Output:
String '1234' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'Tsunami' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'psyc0lo' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[4] and s[5]
String 'að??z' contains Surrogate pairs at s[1] and s[2]
Example 2: For ArgumentNullException
Output:
String '1234' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'Tsunami' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'psyc0lo' does't contain any Surrogate pairs at s[4] and s[5]
String 'að??z' contains Surrogate pairs at s[1] and s[2]

s is null
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentNullException
Example 3: For ArgumentOutOfRangeException
Output:
String '1234' does not contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'Tsunami' does not contain any Surrogate pairs at s[3] and s[4]
String 'psyc0lo' does not contain any Surrogate pairs at s[4] and s[5]
String 'að??z' contains Surrogate pairs at s[1] and s[2]

index is less than zero
Exception Thrown: System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException
