Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Unicode in root.txt

Unicode (at least the UTF8 encoding) should work just fine in Asciidoc. Running 
"asciidoc root.txt" against Evergreen master on Fedora 22 works for me without 
any problems, at least nothing related to Unicode in root.txt.
As for U2019, per http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt that's 
actually the preferred usage for "apostrophe", and there are U2013 en dashes, 
which are also fine.
So I would be against getting rid of those (valid) instances of Unicode 
characters and the BOM.

Yamil, you mentioned during the doc hackfest that the strange codes in root.txt 
were just a mistake and that you were planning on fixing it sometime.  I just 
wanted to confirm that those can be removed without any ill effect?

It looks to me like it is Unicode that snuck in, maybe something was pasted 
from MS Word, smartquotes etc?

There are a couple  “U+2019” right single quotation marks in the place of 
apostrophes, and at the beginning of the document there is a Byte order mark 
“\357\273\277, which marks the text as Unicode, which I don’t think is accurate.

Anybody have any problems with me taking those Unicode characters out of 
root.txt.
