Trivia question 423 is wrong

Description
Trivia question 423 is "What is the name for unicode codepoints that do not fit into 16 bits?", with the supposedly correct answer being "surrogates". This is wrong.
At some point in the past what is now UTF-16 was occasionally called "Unicode", especially in the Windows and Java world. To encode codepoints outside the Basic Multilingual Plane UTF-16 uses surrogate characters, which are part of Unicode, but are below 16 bits (otherwise they couldn't be used in UTF-16).
Steps to Reproduce

(either is fine with me)
Sounds good. Removing it is fine, unless you can think of a good way to rephrase it. Feel free to open a PR
