Apparently the "Grinning Face" is included in the Deja Vu font which was/is
included by default with Ubuntu (according to Wikipedia). Perhaps you can get LiveCode to
use that ... at least to test the surrogate pairs.
On a lesser note, LibreOffice includes Deja Vu and fortunately Deja Vu does not
have the pile of poo you do not want.

I installed the Unicode consortium's "Last Resort" font:
http://www.unicode.org/policies/lastresortfont_eula.html
and ran the script:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
set the unicodeText of fld "fff" to (numtoChar(55357) &
numToChar(56832))
end mouseUp
and got a char saying "undefined 10000 1FFFD Plane 1"
U+1FFFD = 131069
U+10000 = 65536
so, that, at least, makes sense; and that would argue that a font with
the smiley face should show the face.
AND; according to this:
http://www.fontspace.com/unicode/char/1F601-grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes
we should be OK:
so, adjusted the second surrogate pair to U+1F601 = 55357 & 56833, used
DejaVu Sans, and got a smiley face !!!!!!
Obviously, DejaVu Sans does NOT have a glyph at 1F600.
then, did this:
on mouseUp
set the useUnicode to true
put the unicodeText of fld "fff" into FFF
put charToNum(FFF) into fld "NUMM"
end mouseUp
and the number I got was 55357: the first number in the surrogate pair!
So it would seem that the surrogate pairs work in one direction [
numToChar ] but not the other way round [ charToNum ].
