I don't know if it is related, but given I have AltGr - t - u mapped as
in my .XCompose, look at what is happening when I enter that at the
command prompt and how it is shown:
tux:/home/merijn 503 > \U+1F44D
: Command not found.
tux:/home/merijn 504 > history 2
503 12-10 15:14:12
504 12-10 15:16:48 history 2
tux:/home/merijn 505 > echo "\U+1F44D"
\U+1F44D
Which makes it a weird user experience in that the way tcsh displays
codepoints is not supported on input, so for consistency, I'd suggest
to change \U+1F44D to \U1F44D (remove the +) or (also) support the + as
optional on input.
As a bonus I would personally cheer an option to display Unicode on
input as the character itself as it is done in all other locations
