I doubt it really works. For example, nbsp can be used formatting
(that's the purpose of the character in the first place). Whenever a
developer decides to or not to use nbsp, "allowlist" needs to be
maintained. It's too annoying.

I think it's better to add the non-ASCII character checking to the
comitting check list and let committers check non-ASCII character in
the patch. Non-ASCII characters rarely used and it would not become a
burden.

Maybe we can add to the wiki page something like this?

git diff origin/master | grep -P '[^\x00-\x7f]'

They are U+201C (double turned comma quotation mark) and U+201D
(double comma quotation mark).

<l:template name="sect3" text="Section %n, “%t”, in the documentation"/>

I would like to know why they are necessary too.
