It seems to me that such usage confuses the meaning of "plain text". Use 
of the plane 14 tagging characters to indicuate language would be markup 
-- metadata that is separate from the content and that has some impact on 
how the content should be processed. It's just a coincidence that the 
markup uses distinct characters from the content.
