// For this example, I've pre-created a text file containing two emoji

// This text file was saved using the utf-8 encoding.

// The utf-8 bytes for the ghost emoji are 0x9f 0x91 0xbb.  (Note: This is the utf-8
// representation that does not use surrogate pairs.)
// 
// The utf-8 bytes for the "face savouring delicious food" emoji are \xF0\x9F\x98\x8B.
