I was looking closely at the 4627 text and just about convinced myself that
it already bans
{"a": "\uDEAD"}
It says Any character may be escaped. If the character is in the Basic
Multilingual Plane (U+0000 through U+FFFF), then it may be represented as a
six-character sequence: a reverse solidus, followed by the lowercase letter
u,... etc
But U+DEAD is not a character. So a narrow reading would make that
illegal. Not that any implementation I’ve encountered enforces that. -T
