It doesn't actually have to be an emoji either.. ℬ, ⨊, ... even the norwegian
letters like å,æ,ø makes it fail.. and the swedish variants ä, ö .. It's a nice
way to disable all logging if you got root on a box: just switch your hostname
to something that has a  weird character in it and there is basically no trace
of anything you do on it.
