No basis at all.  But that's not what I'm assuming.  Just like you
(and Emacs itself, which already has several files containing such
non-Unicode characters), I'm simply assuming that GIGO will cause no
harm.

The difference is that in the longer run I plan to remove the problem
by using the PUA, which you say can't be done in Emacs.
