blocked senders is useless -they keep changing the address. Assuming
Outlook 2003 or 2007, go to tools, options, junk email and look on the
international tab. Block most of the encoding (not ASCII, western European,
possibly not Latin 3 and 9 and any others that would be used by people you
correspond with in other countries)

Adding them to you Blocked Senders List won't help you as they don't reuse
the email address. The result would be a poorly performing filter. It's
better that you remove those addresses.

Are they sent in a special encoding which you don't use or a certain
top-level domain you never receive messages from? Then you can block these.

If you want to do it by a rule; can you copy and paste the characters?

system will not let me paste anything or let me go out to get anything to
paste. I do not know where to look for the sysbols for these letters to add
them to the rule. Still needing help

Block the encoding (e.g. "koi8-r"), not letters and symbols.
