The only requirement is not to fall over while parsing text, there are a lot of characters in unicode, and typically on most real systems most of those characters render as a box or ? or some other missing glyph marker. This is often an issue in mathml (taking a random example) where you sometimes face the choice of doing the "right thing" and marking up 2x as 2 invisible-times x or just abitting the 2 and the x. If the invisible times character (#x2062) renders as a missing glyph, there is a temptation to miss it out...
