Newsgroups do not support all characters available everywhere; they

This is not supposed to be news; newsgroups are ONLY for text. That's
all they work with. That's all they are supposed to do. (Files are sent
only by converting them to text first!)

If you need to use that character, you'll have to put it in a message
or file that supports that extended character symbol.
