In the southamerica data file we have several Latin-1 encoded non-ASCII
characters.
The other data files are 100% ASCII
Here they are:
$ grep -nP "[\\x80-\\xff]" *
southamerica:384:# There's also a note in only one of the major national
papers (La Naci�n) at
southamerica:390:# (...) anunci� que el pr�ximo domingo a las 00:00 los
puntanos deber�n
southamerica:393:# A partir de entonces, San Luis establecer� el huso
horario propio de
southamerica:395:# 2009, el cambio horario quedar� comprendido entre las
00:00 del tercer
southamerica:396:# domingo de marzo y las 24:00 del segundo s�bado de
octubre.
southamerica:815:# I just send a e-mail to Zulmira Brand�o at
I think it's fine to allow non-ASCII in comments, but would strongly
request that the files be UTF-8 encoded. Anything else leads to immense
confusion over what charset is in use.
