Mevans, I'd suggest escaping that character instead of just pasting it into the file (I'm sure you already knew this...).

Does anyone know the unicode escape sequence for that character?

Escaping the char will, most likely, render the escape code, not the char.

The file is interpreted in Windows-1252 encoding. The lowercase u with circumflex (û) has the Unicode codepoint 251 (or  in hex, as Campinator said), but in UTF-8 that is encoded as two bytes: . These represent the chars Â and » in Windows-1252, as you can see in the Wikipedia article above.

Maybe this is a bug in MC, which uses an OS-dependant default charset to read the file. In that case, converting the file to Windows-1252 would fix it for Windows users (probably the biggest user group) but cause problems for users of other operating systems.
