[erlang-bugs] FW: Bug in Erlang/OTP 17 [RELEASE CANDIDATE 1]

[Andreas Schumacher]

As Steve pointed out, bug.erl was encoded as ISO-8559-1/Latin-1 and not 
as UTF-8.

As a special case, if you only use non-ASCII characters in comments, 
another alternative is to convert the file to UTF-8; for example, by 
instructing your editor to do so or by using iconv:

$ iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 bug.erl -o bug.erl
