Ỳou're worrying about nothing. The Unicode Standard guarantees that no
new control codes or noncharacters will ever be added to the standard.
See the Stability Policy
<http://unicode.org/policies/stability_policy.html>, where it states:
"The General_Category property value Control (Cc) is immutable: the
set of code points with that value will never change."
"The Noncharacter_Code_Point property is an immutable code point
property, which means that its property values for all Unicode code
points will never change.".
