I just type them in literally, using whatever special-char-quoting
mechanism is available in the text editor I'm using at the time.

to get the special character into a file.  Then I can copy and paste
from that file using a variety of means, whatever works for the particular
job at hand.  But I've never had to do any of that in procmail.
