ADDITIONAL SYSTEM INFORMATION :
OS X newest release,
Tested and did not work on Java 1.8_181, 1.8_161 and 1.8_60.

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
JavaFx fileChooser can't open any files that contain emoji in their name or anywhere in the file path leading to the file. Exception reporting "file does not exist" and when showing the reported file path last 3 characters are cut off and emoji icon is displayed incorrectly.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create simple file opener using fileChooser.
2. Try to open file that has emoji icon anywhere in the file path or in it's name.


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
File opens, file path displayed correctly.
ACTUAL -
Exception in thread "JavaFX Application Thread" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The file: /Users/user/eclipse-workspace/fxTest/emoji😀/test. doesn't exist.
