> Most of the JDK code base has been transitioned to UTF-8, but not all. This has recently become an acute problem, since our mixing of iso-8859-1 and utf-8 in properties files confused the version of `sed` that is shipped with the new macOS 15.4.
>
> The fix is basically simple, and includes the following steps:
> * Look through the code base for text files containing non-ASCII characters, and convert them to UTF-8, if they are not already
> * Update tooling used in building to recognize the fact that files are now in UTF-8 and treat them accordingly (basically, updating compiler flags, git attributes, etc).
