The accented e should have been fine as it is rather standard, but for 
some reason the o with a macron (used in romaji) appears to have been 
mangled. Both characters are in the UTF-8 set, so i'm not sure what the 
problem was. Shows how much of a mess 8-bit encodings are, perhaps 
lending credence to Josh's original grumble...
