I don't think we should return characters that are not inside the
page. What is your use case exactly?

In evince we use the layout information to implement caret navigation,
for example, it doesn't make sense to move the caret outside the
page. In the case of selections, you can pass a bigger selection
rectangle to get the text off the page.
