 Mac OS X Lion adds a new set of Unicode characters — Emoji. To access
 these characters, choose Edit > Special Characters… from the menu bar in
 Safari, then select "Emoji" in the left side of the Characters palette.
 Double click any Emoji to insert it into the selected text field in
 Wordpress.

 Problem: The Wordpress editor very much does not like Emoji, and will
 strip any text following an Emoji character.

 Reproduce: Type the following into the Post Editor…

   {{{ Testing 💩 How Did It Go? }}}

 (The character after 'Testing' is an emoji character, or Unicode: U+1F4A9
 UTF-8.)

 Expected: That text and emoji appears in the final post.

 Results: The post appears as follows...

   {{{ Testing }}}

 Everything after the Emoji, including the Emoji, is omitted from the post,
 including any new lines.
