What I currently see in my Lucid menu is a question mark. Is that what you
mean by "junk"? Or maybe it depends on your locale and other Mule settings.
In any case, it would be great to get utf-8 support in the Lucid menu, even
if it's only when you're running under a utf-8 locale.

How 'bout the patch below to maths-menu.el (which also fixes your code so
you get paren-matching when inserting a paren-like char).
