CESU-8 is evil too, but it’s not what I had in mind. Its main
characteristic is encoding non-BMP characters as surrogates pairs, which
does not change the value space.
But http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr26/ is unclear whether CESU-8
allows unpaired surrogates (which was the issue in the previous
message.) I suppose it does not, by virtue of valid UTF-16 not allowing
them either.
