Unicode values over 0xFFFF are simply not accepted on input, so no, it
doesn't fix the problem. What do upper/lower/initcap have to do with it?
textin() unconditionally calls pg_verifymbstr, which in turn explicitly
checks for such values (if the encoding is UTF8) and throws ERROR if it
finds them.
