There may some day be a use for the Unicode codepoint 0x0000.  It might be
better to make this 0xFFFF, which is a guaranteed non-character in Unicode and

Isn't that the natural character to use for null-terminated strings? For
example, if I'm processing UTF-8 text in C, "foo" is equivalent to 0066
006F 006F 0000. In which case, it's very much in use already.
