    //  as needed.

    //  characters (the "ghost" emoji, and a "face savouring delicious food" 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.)
