Please don't send po files to gnome-i18n gnome org -- this list has many
hundreds of translators for different languages as members, and a
zh_TW.po file will make no sense to most of them.
Instead, please communicate directly with the zh_TW coordinator (see
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gtp/teams.html) or the zh_TW team's
own list (if it has one).

You can put valid UTF-8 characters (such as ©) in translateable
messages, but there are some things to consider. See
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99005 for the details.

Among some things it requires a recent enough gettext and intltool
version, and that a special keyword be added to the top of the
POTFILES.in file. Also, only characters that are supported in most fonts
should be added, but I think it's safe to assume that © is such a
character.
