Users should be include Unicode chars normally in bug reports. Especially now that Emacs supports Unicode so well and Unicode is used throughout the manuals. I'd argue that we should have a user option, and that the default behavior should be to copy+paste normally. Anyone who really needs this "feature" can customize the option accordingly. Is there some reason not to proceed that way? Am I missing something?
