When inserting the U+0000 (NULL) character, PostgreSQL errors:
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
I understand I could not use the text type, but given that this is a valid
Unicode character, is there a reason this is not supported?

Yes: internally, the text representation of all data types is a C string,
ie a \0-terminated string. That's not something that's practical to
change.
