Blocks.txt is the normative source of block definitions:
FFF0..FFFD; Specials
(This matches Annex A.2 of 10646-1, which also defines the "SPECIALS"
block as FFF0 - FFFD.)
So FFFE and FFFF are not part of the Specials block.
However, FEFF, FFFE, and FFFF are discussed as part of Section 13.6
Specials, in the standard, simply because that is the obvious place
to do so.
