You can use a CHECK(UNICODE_ASSIGNED(t)) in version 17, and in version 18 I have a proposal here to make it a database-level option: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/a0e85aca6e03042881924c4b31a840a915a9d349.ca...@j-davis.com (Note: the proposal might have a few holes in it, I didn't look at it lately and nobody has commented yet.)
