These methods are correct. No escaping is necessary when writing 
Unicode. needsEscaping() refers to whether or not it's necessary to use 
XML numeric character references to output a character because it does 
not exist in the chosen character set. The Unicode character set can 
output all characters in Unicode, naturally enough, so you never need to 
escape in these circumstances. This has nothing to do with surrogate 
pairs.
