Likewise. I've been accustomed to copying and pasting unrecognized
characters (one of the easiest solutions is to paste them into a
Python console - ord() for one character, or a Py2 repr() for multiple
- to quickly see what the codepoints are), relying on the clipboard
getting the exact same sequence that was printed by the application.
