Processing XML that has emojis - any pointers?

Y'all

We have data coming in that MIGHT contain emojis - not sure if we can have a corporate rule to say don't do that, but it still might.

We are using XML-SAX to process the XML - it works fine - until someone puts an emoji to send the customer a bouquet or a nice face.

I've suggested the source app put the text in a CDATA block - does this look as if it should work?

If not, other suggestions are welcome.

Emojjs appear to have their own block in Unicode - the one's I saw appeared to be 4-byte sequences - but I see there can be several lengths, as, IIRC, UTF-8 can have.

I've wondered about using a 1208-CCSID variable to pull in the data - I'm trying to find where the source code is hiding right now!

Help much appreciated!
