> In the spark the mask function when apply with a string contains invalid 
> character or wide character would cause unexpected behavior.
> Example to use `*` mask a string contains wide-character {{🙂}}
> {code:sql}
> select mask("🙂", "Y", "y", "n", "*");
> {code}
> could cause result is ** instead of *. Looks spark mask treat {{🙂}} as 2 
> characters.
> Example to use wide-character {{🙂}} do mask would cause wrong garbled code 
> problem
> {code:sql}
> select mask("ABC", "🙂");
> {code}
> result is `???`.
> Example to mask a string contains a invalid UTF-8 character
> {code:java}
> select mask("\xED");
> {code}
> result is `xXX` instead of `\xED`, looks spark treat it as four character 
> `\`, `x`, `E`, `D`.
> Looks spark mask can only handle BMP character (that is 16 bits) and can't 
> guarantee result for invalid UTC-8 character and wide-character when doing 
> mask.
> My question here is *does that the limitation / issue of spark mask function 
> or spark mask by design only handle for BMP character ?*
> If it is a limitation of mask function, could spark address this part in mask 
> function document or comments ?
