So after investigating this more it turns out that the unicode consortium and
Flash have a different idea of what unicode is.
Or to be more techy: There is a set of unicode "code points" (read: values)
that are considered invalid and must not appear in any string of text. Every
other library we use (read: Pango or glib) will reject these values. Some might
even crash. Flash will not, it seems to treat these as valid.

This seems to need a somewhat larger refactoring + code audit so that we can
allow all these "invalid" strings. I'm not yet sure how to best do that though.

I'll however try a quick fix to work around the problem. I'll let you know
about it when I've done it.
