Emojis not supported in REPL

[clsource]

System.print("📟")

will throw Unhandled key-code [dec]: 240

using MacOS Catalina Wren 0.3.0

This is because all input is handled one byte at a time. Even if your remove the error you don't get an Emoji you just get two high ASCII characters... I wonder if the input loop shouldn't work with codePoints directly? #67 Otherwise it would have to include it's own UTF-8 handling logic...

@clsource Can you test? :-)

[joshgoebel]

@ruby0x1 Can you confirm this is desirable (UTF-8 input) before I spend much more time on this... I presume it should be since we support UTF-8 natively... so it makes sense I think that this would "just work"... of course it'd only make sense inside strings, etc...

Ok will do some testing :) is this the PR right? https://github.com/wren-lang/wren-cli/pull/71

[joshgoebel]

Yes. :)

[joshgoebel]

May I ask which PR completed this work? I see 71 is still open.
