Oops! You're right. It's my mistake, not yours!

Actually, they would have worked if you were using UTF-16 input text 
(but that may be a pain to work with from other points of view), or if 
you specify them by giving their surrogate-pair representation as a 
sequence of two characters using \char"XXXX or ^^^^xxxx notation. But 
they won't work by default from a UTF-8 input file--which is the main 
place you want them!

You can work around the problem in 0.91 if you add

	\XeTeXinputencoding "utf-8"

at the start of your file. I'll fix it properly in 0.92, but might not 
do another release straight away unless something else critical comes 
up (more important to update samples and documentation at this point, I 
think).
