> It's possible that convertUTF16ToUTF8 (in UTF8.h) should convert nulls to the replacement character in lenient mode (just like how it converts other illegal chars).

I don’t think that’s right.

For one thing, a null character is not an “illegal character”. We may have some call sites that can’t handle null characters because they are using null terminated strings, and they do need to be protected from unexpected null characters, but a null character is not intrinsically bad.

For another, I believe other illegal things are illegal sequences, not characters at all.
