Some characters are actually "surrogate" codepoints defined for use in UTF-16. We need to signal an invalid character if we detect them when encoding a sequence of Chars into Word8s because they won't give valid Unicode.

We may also need to signal an invalid character if we detect them when encoding a sequence of Chars into Word8s because the RoundtripFailure mode creates these to round-trip bytes through our internal UTF-16 encoding.
