I've been addressing this issue before, but I think it is about time
to pick it up again.  Matthew, I'm using your article as an example,

The idea is good though, or something in the vein of the global allowable
characters that many forums use might work (a shortcut list of symbols that
folks could cut and past out of...they'd look the same to everyone that way).
