     There was a massive, ban-adaptive spam bot campaign, a while back,
that prompted me to add quite a few character combinations (including a
number of unicode ones) in spam filters to try to combat it.  Every once
in a while, an actual user triggers one of those filters.

     It would, yes.  I can try to narrow down which character
combination triggered the filter and remove that one, specifically.
That set of bots hasn't been back for quite a while, so it's probably
safe to chip away at a few of the hundred or so filters I had to add.
