Currently, I'm opposed to having a Guideline that mandates UTF-8 over ASCII.
And I'm opposed to continuing to abuse ASCII glyphs and pretend they stand for something other than their creators intended. One couldn't avoid it when the available encoding didn't provide a clean way to write some stuff, but doing it in 2008 is plain dumb.
Granted, UTF-8 glyphs can be abused as well; see %changelog in the following:

You even used two different glyphs for "fixed the license"!
