What happens if someone tries to view this in a non-UTF8 encoding?

As a comparison point, we generally avoid using non-ASCII characters
directly in the SGML docs; we write out the appropriate SGML entity
instead. I think we should try to do the equivalent thing here ---
I assume python has some way to write "U+nnnn" or some such.
