how to test if a string is a valid UTF16 string?

I am using mongodb and javascript to do some string processing. Now I got some开发者_C百科 error like:

Sun May 23 07:42:20 Assertion failure JS_EncodeCharacters( _context , s , srclen , dst , &len) scripting/engine_spidermonkey.cpp 152

0x80f4f7e 0x80f8794 0x811525b 0x811a953 0x8119fc4 0x8111bc5 0x81b408e 0x81c4ee7 0x81b4a10 0x817a881 0x817a7d8 0x817a6e2 0x811e1bb 0x80a777b 0x80a8f8a 0xb7cb2455 0x80a37a1

mongodb-linux-i686-1.4.2/bin/mongo(_ZN5mongo12sayDbContextEPKc+0xfe) [0x80f4f7e]

After doing some google, I find that JS_EncodeCharacters return false if the input is not a valid UTF16 string. (if spidermonkey is build with UTF-8 enabled)

So I was wondering how to test if the input string if a proper UTF16 string? so I can skip such kind of string to avoid problem ...

Thanks

This part of the UTF-16 FAQ describes the sequences of invalid characters:

The two values FFFE₁₆ and FFFF₁₆ as well as the 32 values from FDD0₁₆ to FDEF₁₆ represent noncharacters. They are invalid in interchange, but may be freely used internal to an implementation. Unpaired surrogates are invalid as well, i.e. any value in the range D800₁₆ to DBFF₁₆ not followed by a value in the range DC00₁₆ to DFFF₁₆, or any value in the range DC00₁₆ to DFFF₁₆ not preceded by a value in the range D800₁₆ to DBFF₁₆.

If you're doing this in Javascript, I'm not sure it'll be all that easy to test for this, though...
