That's the same stuff I get from my US-Intl keyboard, also by ALT+-number on
the numerical keypad.  160-255 also gives good stuff (letters with
diacritics) enough for my purposes; they usually transmit OK to this list,
but not to Conculture or Langmaker lists (both e-groups). None of the gurus
or pseudo-gurus I've asked can explain why.

Muke-- I lurk on Cybalist (also e-groups), and note occasional strings of
gibberish especially in Piotr's and Sergei's posts, when they cite
Slavic/Lithuanian forms-- is that Unicode?  And (anyone) what is UTF-8 and
how do I get it? (Do I want it?)
