  Hope with Unicode ? (range above 2 bytes) (Message 1 to 2 of 2)

Greetings,

I was to use some fonts from http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/ (as they
are offered free for many purposes), and all went fine with povray until
I choose to use U+1F301 from Symbola.ttf;

Previous chars were below U+FFFF, so no problem (Input in gvim via
ctrl-V,u,four hexdigits; for range above U+FFFF, it's ctrl-V,U,eight
hexdigits.), but povray seems unable to handle glyph above U+FFFF.

Did I missed something obvious (or not obvious), to access the Foggy
Glyph (U+1F301) (or the umbrella U+1F302) ? (or what did the dog at
U+1F415 to be punished ?)

Or should I wait for a futur version of povray ?

(charset was utf8 in SDL, and file was also utf8 format)

POV-Ray currently supports only the Base Multilingual Plane, i.e. 
Unicode characters with code points <= U+FFFF. IIRC I already have a fix 
somewhere, but it hasn't found its way into the official codebase yet.

That.
