how do i insert an unicode character literal, value of which is more than 0xffff? \U12345678 doesn't seem to work

Kotlin uses UTF-16, so you'll have to covert to two UTF-16 surrogate chars, as far as I know.

aha. this seems to do the job: val Int.u get() = String(Character.toChars(this)). not sure why literals are not allowed

also jvm's regex seems to be understanding these correctly
