Description of the new feature/enhancement

Open vscode to edit the settings.json file.
Locate "actions" property in json file and add this one:

      {
            "command": {
                "action": "sendInput",
                "input": "\"🚀\""

            },
            "keys": "ctrl+l"
        }

What I need to do to print emoji would be

        {
            "command": {
                "action": "sendInput",
                "input": "\"`u{1F680}\"\r"
            },
            "keys": "ctrl+l"
        }

Is it the best way to set emoji as argument of sendInput action? Or is there any better way to do that?
