I believe it might be that the encoding of the file should be UTF-8. Therefore
if it is encoded using something like latin1 and contains a character above 128
it will need to be re-encoded into UTF-8.
May be I have got it wrong, using escape sequences have the advantage they can
be typed easily regardless of keyboard layout, but they can make it harder to
read (I am split on that one as to which I prefer).
