Just to inform you that the characters you used do not make much sense
unless you use a PC character set.  The 'standard' 8-bit encoding on
Usenet is ISO-Latin-1, a superset of ASCII, but different from IBM
codepage 437 or 850.  In ISO-Latin-1, I see repetedly the following
characters:

  U^ (U with hat over)
  ^2 (2nd power/small 2)
  +- (plus-minus)
  ^0 (0th power/degree symbol)
