You can enter it using it's code point (0xFE).

In a gnome-terminal (or similar): Ctrl-Shift-U f e ENTER

In emacs: C-x 8 ENTER f e ENTER [...]32_29Sep201418:18:[log in to unmask]

I agree, no need for that. I too take it out every time.

Now, just for the sake of curiosity, I'll ask this question because I
don't know better.

Is there a *good* reason one would want to use rhgb instead of the raw

I'm going to assume that it's there because of something that I can't
guess and ask here for opinions.
