Of course I meant U+FFFE. There is nothing special about U+FFEF;
although that code point is currently unassigned, there's no reason it
couldn't be in the future. (It would be the perfect spot for HALFWIDTH
BLACK CIRCLE, for instance.)

And yes, I did just advocate the use of noncharacters after all. U+FFFE
and U+FFFF might not be the best choice, but U+FDD0 through U+FDEF
should work fine.
