Did you do it manually?

Manually? I used M$ Word’s “Insert” → “Symbol…” to access much of the Unicode character set and string the symbols together in a temporary document, then copy & paste into the reply message body to do the rest.

Unicode uses a 16-bit index for the symbols and so can represent up to 65,536 (= 2¹⁶) characters. I recall being surprised a while back when I read that this number is still not sufficient to cope with all of the world’s alphabets and ideogram sets, but it’s still a big jump forward from 7- or 8-bit ASCII (or, sanity forbid, EBCDIC).
