Actually, I can't reproduce that, but I guess it's a problem of the
specific console he's using (Thomas, which one is that?): on mintty it
works ok (I'm not really sure it outputs U+10001, but it surely shows a
single box) and on rxvt it just shows as four ISO-8859-1 chars:
(es expected, as native rxvt doesn't support Unicode)

mintty% echo "-\xF0\x90\x80\x81-"
-�-
rxvt% echo "-\xF0\x90\x80\x81-"
-ð€-

Also ok on `ls`:

% cat s.c
int main() {
    fopen("a-\xF0\x90\x80\x81", "w");
    return 0;
}
% ./s
% ls -l|fgrep a-
