Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Catching up on this after quite some time.

 I think it best to go with option 2 and require the extension.

 I am quite persuaded by @jrf's comment on the English/Latin alphabet bias
 in not requiring the extension. With the wide use of emoji, it would be
 quite an advantage for countries with a Latin alphabet too 🙂
