Right now, typing a code for a character will not render the character, but instead will render the code:

The actual character:

Unicode:

Hex:

This matters quite a bit for users who want to use icon fonts. Currently there is a workaround: use some other decoder, copy the character, and pase it in. This has a few downsides though: Character looks like a empty box most of the time, and it's pretty inconvenient.

I see both pros and cons to this. Fine closing, will solve the problem somewhere else.
