Hello all, Just a quick question about encoding changelog in utf-8. My normal locale is iso-8859-1 (en_US or so, I guess), and `file changelog` returns 'ASCII text'. I tried `iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t utf8 changelog -o changelog.new`, but then `file changelog.new` returns 'ASCII text' again, and diff shows no difference. Do I need to be doing this each time, or can I leave it be? As you can probably tell, I am not that familiar with the issues around utf-8, but my impression was that it is a superset of ASCII, so if I only use ASCII characters, it should be fine. I checked with the line from developers-reference (footnote 76, IIRC) and got an exit code of 0, but since I am not sure about this kind of thing, I thought I had better ask.
