I had thought that PB would detect and offer to correct these sorts
of problems, though...
No, it doesn't. This is really annoying. It happens when you paste
just about any code from the cocoa-dev archives at:

Is there a radar on this?
To be fair, I think PB may be trying to allow the use of arbitrary
unicode characters because:
o They might be valid inside quoted strings
o They might be valid in whatever wacky language the user is using
(i.e. APL)
That said, it does seem like there would be room for adding a
language-dependant, context-sensitive ability to flag illegal
characters. And perhaps there could be some way for PB to guarantee
that all characters were shown in a "visible" way, so that gremlins with
no visible representation in the font would appear as little boxes or
something.
I am not aware of a radar on this.
