Corner cases (was: Re: UTF-16 Encoding Scheme and U+FFFE)

[Doug Ewell]

How common is it to see any of the following in real-world Unicode text,
as opposed to code charts and test suites and the like?

1. Unpaired surrogates
2. Noncharacters (besides CLDR data)
3. U+FEFF at the beginning of a stream (note: not "packet" or arbitrary
cutoff point)

I'm not asking whether any of these are recommended or "prohibited" or
whether they are a good idea. I'm asking about actual usage.
