You're using hotmail. In hotmail, your browser will be set to a 
non-Unicode encoding. Pasting in non-ASCII characters will generally 
turn them into HTML entities (the browser does this, not hotmail 
itself). A few characters may not have this happen, if they happen to be 
in the local encoding (typically windows-1252 in your case).

If you use Yahoo! Mail Beta or GMail, this won't happen, since these use 
UTF-8 for their interfaces.
