But, to be fair, in the (I don't have the exact number here) roughly 200 million records in our recent big data import job, I found exactly FOUR strings with astral characters. Which boiled down to two versions of each of two different song titles. One had a Unicode Character 'BALLOON' (U+1F388). The other had some heart symbol (sorry, I don't remember the exact code point). These hardly seem a matter of national pride. And, if you don't believe there is astral crap, how do you explain U+1F4A9?
