Hey mark!

 ml> i thought you were talking about an emoticon... that i character
 ml> is not an emoticon ;)

Two of the 8 bytes are.  In fact the last trailing byte in each of the 32-bit 
emoticons sent which is why I specifically picked those two emoticons since 
they both end in 0x8d from an 8-bit perspective (eg "CHRS: CP437 2").  No?

 ml> it seems to depend on the font used by the displaying tool

The empty recangular box would work for me.  However it should only print on 
the screen and not replace the actual glyph (<-whatever) in the msg, or a 
reply, containing that glyph.  That is why I no longer use msged for fidonet 
messaging since it will corrupt utf-8 codes within quotes, whereas DOS-think 
editors such as QEdit and uemacs simply return them unscathed, including the 
infamous "loses an eye" character 0x8d.

Life is good,
Maurice
