Well, "fancy characters" is difficult to define, but I'll try by saying 
they are characters that you're unlikely to use when typing a letter to 
someone.  Cyrillic would be fancy for a Latin user, sure, but even for 
cyrillic users there must be characters that are "normal" and "common" 
and characters that are fancy and weird.

For Latin, hellip and raquo are fancy.  Try telling someone over the 
phone to use a certain character in their letter to you.  If they need a 
long explanation of how to type it, consider it fancy.
