       Terminals handle unicode differently.  For full support, avoid xterm and urxvt,  and  opt  for  something
       libvte based such as sakura or gnome-terminal.  In a terminal, you can produce a unicode character by is‐
       suing

              printf '%b' '\\u1234'

       In libvte terminals, you can press ctrl+shift+u and then enter the hex sequence.

       Whilst in insert mode, press ctrl+V and then type u1234.

       Use the command ga to show the hex value of the character under the cursor.

       Some  unicode  characters  can be rendered as either emoji or text.  Special invisible unicode characters
       called variation selectors can be used to force either presentation.  Append with the  text  presentation
       selector  (u+fe0e) or emoji presentation selector (u+fe0f), to force text or emoji respectively.  For ex‐
