By definition UTF-16 is two bytes. 256 * 256 = 65536, so that's the

Waow. I wonder where you find such information.
Of course, the most common characters are coded into 2 bytes under UTF-16.
All of them. Give me an example of a character in UTF-16 that is
not two bytes.
2F929 is a Canjie which is like 2 capital "E" back to back.
Open the in-line input Character palette, choose "All" in "View",
click "Unicode Table", scroll down to FFFF (visit F8FF, an apple). On
my machine the last 2-bytes non-empty character is FFFD, a white
question mark over a black losange. But then - ta-da! - you've got
10000, etc.
