[swift-users] emoji in source code failed to compile in linux ubuntu

[Bee]

Oh, I'm sorry… I also have conversation with another member of the list,
but we forget to include the list address on the mail target so our
conversation going private.

FYI, I installed swift on my Koding VM (ubuntu 64bit) from koding.com. It
has an online code editor. Their editor still has problem handling unicode.

Hope this will clear all things.

Thank you.
