21.5 has vastly/completely rewritten unicode support.  with my 
unicode-internal workspace, it will certainly support this (whether or 
not you compile --unicode-internal).

gnu emacs 21.x has charsets into which unconvertible unicode chars are 
stuffed, so they can be undone upon output rather than lost.  i've 
recently suggested a similar approach for XEmacs 21.4.
