\353 is not a delta in most of the character encodings that I use,
and is not valid at all in ASCII. Non-graphic chars are also likely
to cause misery because it's not obvious, using normal tools, what
they are. (The above example would appear to many people as just
a space.)

I would suggest it's probably a good idea to stick to ASCII graphic
(i.e., non-control, not delete) characters.
