Emoji don't display in terminal in mosh

[sedm0784]

I'm guessing this is some kind of user configuration error, but mosh seems to be stripping emoji from my terminal output.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy the following file onto the server: mosh-emoji-test.txt
2. Connect via ssh server
3. Run cat mosh-emoji-test.txt and verify that the emoji displays correctly.
4. Disconnect and reconnect with mosh server.
5. Run cat mosh-emoji-test.txt again.

Expected behaviour: The terminal should display: "Moon: 🌗"
Observed behaviour: The terminal displays: "Moon:"

This usually means that your libc doesn’t recognize the character in question. U+1F317 LAST QUARTER MOON SYMBOL was added in Unicode 6.0.0, which is supported by glibc ≥ 2.22, and indeed it works fine with Mosh on my system with glibc 2.23.

We’re still considering what to do about this problem in general; maybe it makes sense not to rely on libc so much. See #234 for that discussion.

Thanks for the info.
