I checked how GUI libraries deal with half surrogates. In pygtk, a warning gets issued to the console
/tmp/helloworld.py:71: PangoWarning: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text() self.window.show() and then the widget contains three crossed boxes. wxpython (in its wxgtk version) behaves the same way. PyQt displays a single square box.
