Ah. The answer is “No”, then. Gmail (from what I can tell of receiving
messages from it) is terrible at Unicode, and for that reason among many
others is a poor choice for interacting with modern forums.

I recommend you add your voice to those complaining at Gmail's support
team about poor Unicode support, and meanwhile use a better-maintained
free-software client.
