I suspect it was taken from one of the seaplanes that buzzed my recent residence just West of the University of Washington, before landing in Lake Union, which can been seen (a little) at the bottom of the picture. A suprising choice from a guy who apparently lives in New York City. Anyway, for more details on Unicode and the UTF-8 (which FreeBSD uses, IIRC) see "UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ for Unix/Linux" by Markus Kuhn at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html
