Your web browser must be mangling the strings -- it should've shown
the actual unicode glyphs, not some bogus \u... stuff.  Try with
another browser (Mozilla displays the characters correctly for me).

Also remember to specify the encoding of your .gnus when you've pasted
the proper strings:

;;; -*- mode: emacs-lisp -*-  -*-coding: utf-8 -*-
