Interesting that you choose U+FFFD in the same way that backslash was
chosen as an escape character in the first place.  I'm not a big fan
of that approach.  It also results in a nine character escape sequence
for a URI if you UTF-8 and %-encode.

I might just start using that if you decide to prohibit it now.
