Emoji as ssid name

Hello !
I'm surprised noone has asked this before. I couldn't find it by searching.

Is there an easy way to have one (or more) emojis as the ssid name ? Without using a web interface, just through the "uci set ......" , "uci commit ; reboot" method ?

Copying the Emoji in the terminal and using those letters and symbols that appear.

You can use up to 63 ASCII characters as an SSID name.

ESSIDs are not restricted to ASCII, but are evaluated in binary (meaning you can use pretty much any character/ symbol you like, depending on how the STA and its local codepage will display it); obviously it's not exactly a good idea to go overboard with the possibilities (differing codepages, quoting for the config files, input limitations in clients, etc.) - but you can.
