OK, so it's not a regression, in that Unicode chars have
apparently long been copied and pasted incorrectly in this
context.
But Unicode chars were not used all over the place previously,
which makes it a regression of sorts, in observed behavior.
This will bite lots more users a lot more, even if the problem
was potentially present previously as well.
It's a bad bug, interfering considerably with usability,
regardless of whether we want to call it a regression.
