Details:
Last checked version: 2.6.0-beta0-r33596 (gtk2 32bits on Windows 7 x64),
u+1F4A9 in a city name or pasted in the chatline is not displayed as "pile of
poo". The forum explicitly hates this Unicode 6 character, cf.
http://forum.freeciv.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=5247
I also hated it,
http://omniplex.blogspot.com/2013/03/corrigendum-9-clarifies-noncharacter.html
that's why I abused it for Freeciv testing in the native nation. Meanwhile the
Unicode folks do offer variations and combinations for emojis, and IMHO the
ICU library is supposed to get this right, or fail spectacularly. Chrome on my
box figured out how to display the hilarious pile of poo.
