    Stop ignoring the Unicode tag character range.
    
    These were deliberately thrown away in our UTF-8 decoder, with a
    comment apparently introduced by RDB in the 2001 big Unicode patch.
    The purpose of this character range has changed completely since then,
    and now they act as modifier characters on top of U+1F3F4 to construct
    a space of flags (the standard examples being those of England,
    Scotland and Wales). We were failing to display those flags, and even
    pasting out of the terminal didn't give back the right Unicode.
