A test for the ability to display UTF-8 might be more suitable.

I think we should include some example for nice Unicode arrows and
thelike somewhere.

Yes.

[ Translated from my posting

  de.comp.editoren: ]

Instead of %B, you may use %3{%B%} to specify `gnus-face-3' for the
arrows.  (Note: `gnus-face-3' is a *variable* and its *value* is a
face.)

(defface my-arrow
  '((t :inherit fixed-pitch))
  "Face for Unicode arrows.")
(setq gnus-face-3 'my-arrow)

If fixed-pitch doesn't produce correct, unbold arrows, you may use
`M-x customize-face RET my-arrow RET' to specify a different font.

Bye, Reiner.
