title: Paste Unicode characters into IntelliJ source code editor in a string without converting to Unicode code point numbers
body: <p>In the IntelliJ 2019.2 code editor, if I paste this entire line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String abc = "AZ" ; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <a href="https://unicode-table.com/en/1F95D/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">KIWIFRUIT character</a> stays intact. Good.</p>
  
  <p>But if I start with this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>String abc = "AZ";  // Before pasting
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>…and paste the single character <code></code> in between the <code>A</code> and the <code>Z</code> of the string, the KIWIFRUIT is replaced with the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16" rel="nofollow noreferrer">UTF-16</a> representation of the character as a pair of high surrogate and low surrogate numbers: <code>\uD83E\uDD5D</code>. </p>
  
  <pre><code>String abc = "A\uD83E\uDD5DZ" ; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand that this pair of hex numbers is just an alternate way to represent the KIWIFRUIT character. But I would rather see the single character in my source code. </p>
  
  <p>I have verified the <code>.java</code> is configured within IntelliJ to be UTF-8. And as I have shown, pasting the entire line results in the green emoji glyph being displayed within the code editor. </p>
  
  <p>➥ Is there some way to turn off IntelliJ’s converting of high-numbered Unicode characters into a hex string?</p>
