Re: Best way to output astral characters

Thank you, that is exactly what I am looking for.
Caleb In Him... I am complete (Col 2:9-10), confident that God will complete the good work he started 
(Phil 1:6), God's temple (1 Cor 3:16), more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), His child (Eph 1).

Right now we are using the nodeca/js-yaml library, which outputs as surrogate pairs. I was trying to get this changed to either a single escape (like your example), or, if it was considered a printable character, just output it directly. But both I and (I think) the maintainer were a little confused on if there was a correct way to do it, or if, in fact, we should be outputting as surrogate pairs (see nodeca/js-yaml#368 and #369).

The YAML spec explicitly bans literal surrogate pairs, but is silent on escaped surrogates. Nothing in it suggests they are supported, except the suggestion of JSON compatibility. \U on the other hand is required to be supported. I don't think putting a literal astral printable character is erroneous, but quoted is probably safer whenever possible.
