Ironically enough I have a script that strips all non-ascii characters from my screen reader because I found that _all_ online text was polluted with invisible and annoying to listen to characters.

Mine (NVDA) isn't annoying about non-ASCII symbols, interestingly enough. But for something like this form of Unicode "abuse" (?), if you throw a ton of them into a message or something, they become "lines" I have to arrow past because my screen reader will otherwise remain silent on those lines unless I use say-all (continuous reading for those who don't use screen readers).
