Special Characters in text files

I'm working on trying the evdev driver with my Microsoft Explorer mouse.  The info that I found says to pay particular attention to the name result of

egrep /proc/bus/input/devices

The name of the mouse there contains an unprintable character on my command line; bringing it up in an X window shows it to be the registration mark (a circle with an R in it). 

If I just copy that into the xorg.conf file while in X, it comes out as a capital R at the end of the name.

Maybe it's important, and maybe it isn't (I haven't been able to get the driver to load), but how do you enter such a character at the command line or in a conf file?

Re: Special Characters in text files

Check out the Character Map - it will give you a lot of hints regarding your last question - regarding the evdev driver - you can achieve nearly all it promises using default tweaking possiblities in xorg.conf since version 7.
