Who's private use? If you have a stream of data that is being packetted for transmission, using a Private Use character is likely to mangle data that is being transmitted at some point. A NUL is likely to be the best option, IMO, since it's unlikely that anyone expects that they can transmit a NUL through an arbitrary channel, unlike a random private use character. -- Kie ekzistas vivo, ekzistas espero.
