Ahh! So you're with GNU Emacs 22.x? I can reproduce it in 22.2. Once
I check this character in Kermit's utf8.txt file it's described as:
character: â–’ (299218, #o1110322, #x490d2, U+2592)
charset: mule-unicode-2500-33ff
(Unicode characters of the range U+2500..U+33FF.)
In UTF-8 presentation this character is encoded with these three
bytes: E2 96 92. These are in "ASCII" (rather an 8-bit "ASCII"):
‚ ñ Ã. Using C-q 1 1 1 0 3 2 2 I can insert
HALF SHADE. Could be this non-Unicode Emacs has to use some extras to
handle this ...
If no-one on this list has an explanation I'd write a bug report (see
Help menu), also mentioning the 'Invalid character' message. Although
it looks as if GNU Emacs 22.x seems to recommend to use 1110322
instead of 22622 ...
