for my hold reason, I would like to have stop sign emoji -- U+1F6D1. How can I do that?

Iâm unsure if youâre talking about the strcat command-line tool or the strcat() ClassAd function, so Iâll address both.

The jobâs stdout and data files can contain any data format you want.

The ClassAd language naively tolerates UTF-8 encoding in string values. It has no understanding of unicode code points or multi-byte characters. It will preserve the values, but treat each byte as an independent character. Thus, the strcat() and strcmp() functions will do byte-by-byte copying and comparison of string values with UTF-8 encoding. But the substr() function will count bytes and happily bisect a multi-byte character.
