There seems to be scarce support around for these encodings, and even less
literature about it. I found a couple of references in the Unicode mailing
lists and a few blogs entries

Searching for DC80 also reveals similar entries, as DC80-DCFF seems to be
the favorite range of characters to encode invalid sequences. I think I
could easily code this, but there should be some consensus on its utility.
