Probably Python 2's UTF-16 decoder should be as broken as the encoder, which
will match the broken behavior of the UTF-8 and UTF-32 codecs:
>>> u'\ud83d\uda12'.encode('utf-8').decode('utf-8')
u'\ud83d\uda12'
>>> u'\ud83d\uda12'.encode('utf-32-le').decode('utf-32-le')
u'\ud83d\uda12'
Lone surrogate codes aren't valid Unicode. In Python 3 they get used internally
for tricks like the "surrogateescape" error handler. In Python 3.4+. the
'surrogatepass' error handler allows encoding and decoding lone surrogates:
>>> u'\ud83d\uda12'.encode('utf-16le', 'surrogatepass')
b'=\xd8\x12\xda'
>>> _.decode('utf-16le', 'surrogatepass')
'\ud83d\uda12'
