Original description:
According to the documentation found in the net [1], characters outside basic multilingual plane should be encoded using surrogate pairs.
This is minimally tested, but works on my use case where I need to feed EMOJI to a mobile client and my users were getting garbage displayed to them.
Optimally, the decoding side should probably be hacked to be able to do the reverse as well. I don't have need for this at the moment so haven't looked into it yet.
