Good point but I do understand what Barry is saying.
I well remember sending a friend an email in Elvish for a bit of fun (Lord
of the Rings style) which resulted in total gibberish as they didn't have
the font installed to display it!
In fact, the pound sign (which was fine in the Barry's original message)
showed up as a capital L in your reply.

Surely worth a go if it means more chance of the name being right in
the publication?

Hi All
Personally I wouldn't bother trying to put exotic characters in e-mail.
They
only work if the recipient is using the same system to read the
messages as the
sender is using to compose them.
Look at the trouble we with get with -L- signs.
