What are you doing?

Javascript (and a few other languages with UTF-16 implementation details
leaking out) has a tendency to treat such characters as two surrogates
("\uD83D\uDCA9"), instead of as a single character ("\U0001F4A9"). Quite
frankly I think this is unhelpful and wrong, but JSON actually made it a
standard -_-.
