Support for UTF-16 surrogate pair encoded emojis #279
Description
Currently, if I try to parse YAML data containing Unicode emojis split into UTF-16 surrogate pairs (i.e. 1F468 as \uD83D\uDC68 in YAML), go-yaml returns the error "found invalid Unicode character escape code".
According to the YAML spec parsers are supposed to support UTF-8 and UTF-16, including surrogate pairs:
http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2770814
http://www.yaml.org/spec/1.2/spec.html#id2771184
This looks intentional, are you planning on supporting these, or not?
