It might also be worthwhile considering:

  \uFFFC OBJECT REPLACEMENT CHARACTER
  \uFFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER

and perhaps

  \uFFFF (guaranteed not to be a character)

although the latter is supposedly not permitted for interchange. Since 
these code points are not characters as such, they may be more suitable 
candidates for delimiters.
