问题
I find it useful to use UTF8 characters such as ❌ (see here) in commit messages.
refactor (NewService): Added better service & ❌ OldServiceA
From what I can see, it seems fine. But I want to check if I'm opening myself up to any significant interoperability issues (CI tools, different OS's etc).
Does anyone consider this safe/unsafe?

From https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit:
Commit log messages are typically encoded in UTF-8, but other extended ASCII encodings are also supported. This includes ISO-8859-x, CP125x and many others, but not UTF-16/32, EBCDIC and CJK multi-byte encodings (GBK, Shift-JIS, Big5, EUC-x, CP9xx etc.).
Although we encourage that the commit log messages are encoded in UTF-8, both the core and Git Porcelain are designed not to force UTF-8 on projects. If all participants of a particular project find it more convenient to use legacy encodings, Git does not forbid it. However, there are a few things to keep in mind.
and so on.
So as long as you do not set some configuration parameter for all people using a repository, it should be safe to assume UTF-8 as encoding for commit messages.
