I've got a bunch of [unicode characters](http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F000.pdf) from U1F000 and upwards, and I'm wondering how to represent them in Java. A Java unicode escape is on the form "\uXXXX" and the Java language specification says that "Representing supplementary characters requires two consecutive Unicode escapes". How does that apply to U1F000?

```
String mahjongTile = "\u0001\uf000";

```

Does not **seem** to work (I only get two blank squares), but that may be a font-glitch, I presume.
