Unicode/Emoji literals #1

Description

@R4wizard

It's currently not possible to use unicode/emoji characters within an expression without the lexer being unhappy. At the moment non-ASCII characters only work within string literals.

console.log(OpenExpression.evaluate('📈 * 3', {
    '📈': 3
})); // => 9

Actual:

Unexpected character at index 0:
