Unicode chars not appearing. Like old issue 174.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add phrase for shrugie   as per Atlantic article
   http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/the-best-way-to-type-__/371351/

2. The trigger phrase is &shrug;  This produces immediate results close to the 
required value.  I get results with the central katakana character missing, 
even though the font in use has that character.

3.  The Atlantic is widely read and you may be getting more about the shrugie.

What is the expected output?  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What do you see instead?      ¯\_()_/¯

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Autokey-gtk 0.90.4

Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Codename:   trusty
Linux sda8 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 
GNU/Linux

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm guessing that Autokey doesn't handle Unicode properly.
The Unicode character in question is Katakana letter tu: U+30C4
Directly entering the shrugie or the katakan tu by works.  In terminal the 
ctrl-shift-u 30c4 works directly.  But the Autokey shrugie does not.

My software (editor and terminal I'm using to test Autokey) is all set to utf8. 
 Is that what Autokey uses?
