Title:
  Valid UTF8 characters wrongly detected as invalid

Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a .sql text file which contains these two valid 3-byte utf-8 characters: 😍😜 (it's two smilies).
  Not only Gedit doesn't display them correctly, it issues the warning:
  "There was a problem opening the file ...
   The file you opened has some invalid characters. If you continue editing this file you could corrupt this document."
  with the option to retry with a different character encoding.

  The characters are then shown in red background as follows:
    \ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\8D\ED\A0\BD\ED\B8\9C

  They are valid UTf-8
