lolcat fails with emoji

[ggrpmnn]

I pipe a few scripts through lolcat because rainbow output is awesome. However, I noticed that when a script includes an emoji in its output (such as 🍺 from certain homebrew output lines), lolcat fails at the emoji and the remaining output is dropped.

For reference, I'm on OSX 10.13.4 and installed lolcat using homebrew.

What does lolcat --version say for you?

it works fine on v99.9.11 for me, possibly the version in homebrew is outdated.

The version that I have (via brew) on my machine is the same - 99.9.11.

Here's an example of what I see:

The script should continue to execute and update the other brews listed as outdated (example list is included in the screenshot). However, when it gets to the line that notifies that a package has been updated successfully (which begins with the 🍺 emoji), lolcat seems to have an issue and drop the rest of output.

As another clarification, I'm invoking lolcat by calling: > myscript | lolcat. The script works normally (and completely) when I just call > myscript.
