How to insert arbitrary unicode characters in kde keyboard shorctuts (send keyboard input)?

My goal is to bind the shrug emoji ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to a key combination such as "Super+Maj+S", such that whenever I type those three keys together that sequence of characters is sent to whatever window is currently accepting keyboard input.

In KDE I do this via System Settings > Common Appearance and Behavior > Shorcuts and gestures > Custom Shortcuts

enter image description here

The documentation says to input the characters separated by a colon (:), but it says nothing about non ascii characters. When I tried that, only the ascii characters got printed, so instead of getting the desired result of ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, I only get __()_:

Any idea on how to fix this ? is there a specific method of supplying unicode characters ?
