A. Terminology.
The term noncharacter is jargon that refers to a small set of code

That's what I get for typing quickly. Should be:

You completely missed the point. Your experiment didn't add any
new information about Hotmail's UTF-8 support.
Well, I suppose one can just use the OE support, then? :-)
It's almost nothing to do with Hotmail. In this case, it's just OE
that does the job well.
