iconv(): Detected an illegal character in input string

We've started to get a few of these errors come through. This is the stack trace we're seeing:

+1 on version 1.8.2

Turns out that the custom data contained a emoiji unicode character like \ud83d\ude10 and therefore the RayGunClient fails to convert to the requested encoding with iconv.

My workaround was to strip out unicodes before sending data to the RayGunClient.
Hope this might be helpful for other users.

Haven't seen these for a while, closing off.
