using the 'Terminal' font this "stick's" body vanishes!
and 'Fixedsys' it shows as a black filled square
... 'Topaz New2' looks like black empty square
... 'System' looks like vertical-bar (pipe char) ...
what font did you use ?
the char-code came out as 135 ? (0x87)
these values shown using a small javascript and Ie4

62,45,124,61,45,45,45,61,124,45,13,10
62,32,32,32,92,79,47,13,10
62,32,32,32,95,135,13,10
62,32,32,124,32,47,95,13,10

also ...

X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.05 [en] (Win95; I)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

.. 8bit isn't guaranteed to pass thru' _all_ transports ...
hence uuencoding which is 7bit ascii
the FAQ suggests using chars below char-code 128 so that
everyone may see what you see
