Comment:
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode#Character_General_Category
there are certain noncharacter code points are guaranteed never to be used for
encoding characters (in particular U+FDD0..U+FDEF and code point ending in the
value FFFE or FFFF). You should better require that these codepoints are also
to be replaced by a single U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
