Some invalid unicode has been added to translations in Transifex to Japanese core/server.yml file.

```plaintext
new_user_of_the_month:
     name: "一ヶ月の新規ユーザー"
     description: "最初の一ヶ月間の功績\uD83D\uDC4C"

```

See the `new_user_of_the_month.description`.

How does this happen in Transifex, and how can we avoid it in the future? Any translators have insight on how Transifex can prevent this?
