"If you retry your code with values outside the range oxD800-0xDFFF, it will work." It was not my code but Python's test_bytes.py that brought this up (by not compiling). The point about UCS-2 vs. UTF-16 is a good explanation. If we are living with that difference, we should perhaps not expect the same response to the invalid string. I think the response by the parser leaves somewhat be desired, but I'll go quietly.
