I can "deal with" nonascii characters, but some of them look rather ugly.
Some of them cause the display to get out of whack, probably due to
mismatch between how wide they really display and how wide Emacs thinks
they are.

I don't want this to happen in my error messages and documentation!

Can you please send me a message containing the character proposed for this?
