Integrated: 8354273: Replace even more Unicode characters with ASCII

[Andrew Thompson]

Why? This seems like a bizarre thing to believe free of context. 

In my experience using non-ascii regularly is the only way to make sure that tools which destroy non-ascii data are not introduced into tool chains which then break cases that matter. 

The downside of making things ascii is you miss when bugs are introduced. The upsides of using ascii everywhere are unclear to me. 

Also, if it’s 8 bit, it’s not ascii anyway. It’s really Latin-1 or code page-1252 or who knows what. Better to decide everything is utf-8 and fix tools which can’t handle that before they cause issues.
