 Thanks John, now that I'm thinking about it more I can see why so as you
 suggest fixing unicode serialisation would be a better proposal.

 I'll post an example from the twitter API where I noticed it first as soon
 as I find one. Can't seem to replicate it directly with `serialize` and
 `unserialize` using unicode emoticons and the like just yet. Must have
 been a very obscure character.

 In the meantime this outlines one possible way to get around the issue:

 I think my question has been answered anyway. Will close the ticket.
