For 2 bytes characters, it's straightforward \u1234. But if I want to encode longer characters, like U+1F3C3 (snowboarder) with \u1F3C3, the string just doesn't get translated properly.

How do I correctly encode unicode characters which are longer than 2 bytes?

Use "\U0001F3C3", capital U. No guarantee it will look like a snowboarder, it does require a font on the machine that has the required glyph. It does work on mine. – Hans Passant Jun 11 '15 at 12:05
