Hi, Rita,

Mail>Menu bar>Message>Text Encoding is what you're looking for...to a degree, anyhow.

I have absolutely no idea how it works, but good luck with it.

Edit: Mine is set at Automatic, and it reverts from Unicode (UTF-8) to Automatic after an e-mail incorporating the Unicode option is sent, if that's of any importance.

I sent e-mails to myself (using the Unicode option) incorporating " ⌥ ⇧ ¢ ⬆ ⬇ ← ↑ ↓ → ©   ⌘ ⋀" and "𝄞 𝄡 𝄢 ♮ ♯ 𝄪 𝄫," and I received them intact.

(The "Automatic" setting seemed to yield the same results, so... confused. )

Hope this helps.
