As Terry said, basically, yes. Python 3.3 does not need in surrogate 
pairs, but does not prevent their creation. You can create a surrogate 
code (U+D800..U+DFFF) intentionally (as you can create a single accent 
modifier or other senseless alone charcode), but less likely that you 
will get them unintentionally.
