I just started developing the Chrome extension, and I'm almost ready, except for this little problem.
I want to set the Unicode character as the icon text in the browser action, but what I have tried so far does NOT work .
Here's what it looks like now.

- Unicode Character - 💩 (also known as 'poop')
- Its Unicode is U + 1F4A9 (from here )
What I have tried so far:
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({text: '💩'}); //shows '💩'
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({text: 'U+1F4A9;'}); //shows 'Ú+1F4A9;'
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({text: '\U1F4A9;'}); //shows '\U1F4A9;'
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({text: '\\U1F4A9;'}); //shows '\\U1F4A9;'
chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({text: '💩'}); //shows empty box
What should I do to show 💩?
UPDATE . As @Xan mentioned in his answer and comment, this interface cannot be controlled.

, Chrome 💩 ( ) ( )?
