<p>You were using the {{jsxref("String.fromCodePoint()")}} method, which only accepts valid code points.</p>

<p>A <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_point">code point</a> is a value in the Unicode codespace; that is, the range of integers from <code>0</code> to <code>0x10FFFF</code>.</p>

<p>You cannot use {{jsxref("NaN")}} values, negative Integers (<code>-1</code>), non-Integers (<code>3.14</code>), or values larger than&nbsp;<code>0x10FFFF</code> (<code>1114111</code>) with this method.</p>
