Special characters can be used in comments, provided that they are UTF-8 encoded. In case of names of persons or companies, it is very much desirable to preserve special characters. In case like this one on the other hand, sticking with ASCII (the 7 bit character table) might not be such a bad idea to keep things simple. But since you are passing on a patch from somebody else, the right thing to do is IMO to keep the special characters that the author chose and only make sure that the file (and the patch mailing) are UTF-8 encoded. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-== =-=- ====- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
