As long as the Java string manipulation functions don't check for surrogates, you should be fine with this representation. Of course I suppose your matching functions (etc) don't check for them either, so you will be somewhat vulnerable to bugs due to treating them as characters. But the same is true for CPython, AFAIK.

From my point of view, the string function laxness is a feature, not a bug. But I get what you mean.
