I guess he meant anything like U+10001, which seems to be assigned to
linear-B charset on the DecodeUnicode database:

𐀁 = http://www.decodeunicode.org/U+10001
UTF-8 as F0 90 80 81

Or this (Iguess that's traditional Chinese?) example taken from en.wiki:
𤭢 = http://www.decodeunicode.org/U+24B62
UTF-8 as F0 A4 AD A2
