Most certainly. In the PEP-393 representation, the surrogate characters can readily be represented (and would imply atleast the two-byte form), but they will never take their UTF-16 function (i.e. the UTF-8 codec won't try to combine surrogate pairs), so they can be used for surrogateescape and other functions. Of course, in strict error mode, codecs will refuse to encode them (notice that surrogateescape is an error handler, not a codec).
