Answer 1

You should be able to do that simply using toChars from java.lang.Character.

This works for me:

    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append(Character.toChars(127467));
    sb.append(Character.toChars(127479));
    System.out.println(sb);

prints 🇫🇷, which the client can chose to display like a french flag, or in other ways.
