When I know, I can post UTF-8 I always do stupid things like adding
some ♥'s or a € and things like that… Thus, wuickliy the lowest common
deniminator is UTF-8 ⌣ or ⌢

Start Emacs in a UTF-8 locale:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 emacs
and page thru some German newsgroup like de.rec.buecher (books) or
de.rec.fahrrad (bikes). Every 10th or 20th article will feature those
nice \321, \345, \432 decorations :)
