title: Can MongoDB store and manipulate strings of UTF-8 with code points outside the basic multilingual plane?
body: <p>In MongoDB 2.0.6, when attempting to store documents or query documents that contain string fields, where the value of a string include characters outside the BMP, I get a raft of errors like: "Not proper UTF-16: 55357", or "buffer too small"</p>
  
  <p>What settings, changes, or recommendations are there to permit storage and query of multi-lingual strings in Mongo, particularly ones that include these characters above 0xFFFF?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
