Unicode characters not supported in graphql descriptions

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug Unicode characters such as emoji are not supported in graphql descriptions.

To Reproduce Excerpt from the github graphql schema:

"""
Emojis that can be attached to Issues, Pull Requests and Comments.
"""
enum ReactionContent {
  """
  Represents the 😕 emoji.
  """
  CONFUSED
. . .
}

The above emoji character is in the triple-quote comment, but the graphql antlr parser chokes on it. This blows up parsing of the schema, rendering it useless.

@bbakerman I am inclined to change to allow full unicode characters, even if it is outside of the spec. What do you think?
