        I'm thinking maybe that should instead be:

\xe2\x8c\xa5

        I checked this in just now; r6961. Fix seemed to work form me.


PS. I derived this by going over to wikipedia and searched for "Apple Keyboard",
    and there it showed the saucepan character, so I copy/pasted it into a file
    and used od(1) to show the file in hex codes.

    Wikipedia describes the logic behind this seemingly maddening symbol:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Option_key
    Quoting the article:

       "This symbol, originating on the Apple Lisa, represented the pull-out
        plastic card situated under the Lisa keyboard."

    Wow, that's a stretch.

    Anyway, for whatever reason there's apparently an upside-down version of
    this symbol as well, which we seemed to be using. r6961 should fix that I 
think.
