You know how you can get the apple logo by pressing shift-option-k

Does anyone know what this character is in binary?

In binary? What on earth do you mean? What encoding? It only has a dedicated entry in Mac OS Roman and Unicode (in which it's quite long), as far as I know.

in binary? I dunno, but I can make a wild, and probably completely incorrect guess:

10100001111110100000101000101111110100000010101111 00000101010001110

But seriously in unicode it is F8FF and in UTF8 it is EF A3 BF

But you should note that it is a private character... unicode F8FF has no specific character assigned to it from the unicode standard. On Macs it is the Apple logo.

From http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPIN...E/CORPCHAR.TXT :
# The following (1) is for the Mac OS Roman encoding
# (also used in Symbol & Croatian).
# NOTE: The graphic image associated with the Apple logo character is
# not authorized for use without permission of Apple, and unauthorized
# use might constitute trademark infringement.
0xF8FF # Apple logo # Roman-0xF0, Symbol-0xF0, Croatian-0xD8

I don't think SMTP allows for non-ascii charsets in its headers.
