NSString emoji literal

I'm trying to get the NSString for the smiling emoji whose utf-8 code is: 0xF0 0x9F 0x98 0x84. This works:

NSString *smile = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:"\xf0\x9f\x98\x84"];

but this doesn't:

NSString *smile = @"\uf0\u9f\u98\u84";

I get the error message: "Incomplete universal character name". Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

You are missing 2 bytes here. The \u expects digits of 4.

For example : NSString *s = @"\u0234\u0355\u0666\u0621";
