How would I embed the character as a literal in my Clojure code?

I found a blog post about it here:

This is also a good reference:

Java characters are (still) 16 bits wide. A single Java character cannot represent the Unicode character you're looking to represent. Since Clojure characters are Java characters, you'll need to do this the way the Java folks do. This representation as a string from that page does seem to work in Clojure:
