No. You now see what I see, I suppose.

I tried saving a file with the said neet characters on my system and it
doesn't work: they all change to "?" . They don't look very good on
mailman.linuxtag.org/pipermail/debian-knoppix either.
I sent myself a message with those characters and it came back coded as utf-8.
So, maybe it has something to do with KMail recoding in Unicode or iso 10646
, despite what you say below.)

I'm afraid you already know much more than I. My interest in the matter is
certainly too slight for me to grant the effort. But if somebody can explain
simply, surely I'll listen.
