Expected Result: Unity Editor successfully enters into the Play mode
Actual Result: Unity Editor crashes
Notes:
- This issue appears both on Windows and OSX
- It seems that this issue does not occur on Standalone
- When Unity Editor crashes there is no Stack Trace printed

Resolution Note:
IL2CPP marshals managed strings from Utf16 to Utf8 when calling native functions that take char*. Splitting up a surrogate pair creates an invalid sequence that will crash our underlying string conversion code. Testing each character for validity when marshaling in order to fail more gracefully and provide a better error message would slow down marshaling unacceptably for all string marshaling cases, so we have elected to not fix this issue since it is not a common problem.
