Emacs solves the latter problem as well, by using codepoints beyond
the end of the Unicode range. (Don't forget that the Emacs m17n
features were designed and implemented by people who came from Japan.)
The advantage of the Emacs solution is that the internal
representation is still (a superset of) UTF-8, even though the byte
sequences for these codepoints could be longer than the maximum of the
standard UTF-8.
