Both the bp and smile are in the basic plane (0x2031 and 0x263A).  They 
both worked correctly under Linux without the change.

Here are a few codeblocks that did crash Linux (any symbol in them):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_Alphanumeric_Symbols
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticons_(Unicode_block)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CJK_Compatibility_Ideographs_Supplement

I've pushed an update that hopefully fixes the MSW crash.  Let me know 
if it doesn't work for you.
