We've had this discussion. One of our largest contributors has a full legal 
name that doesn't fit in ASCII.

That's usually one of the problematic ones.

Not on this file, though:

    qCDebug(lcTuioSet) << "Processing SET for token " << classId << id << " @ 
" << x << y << "∡" << angle <<

That's easy to fix by using "\342\210\241" instead.

So, we should:
 a) still avoid non-ASCII in our source files, aside from comments
 b) allow non-ASCII in comments, as needed
 c) turn the -utf-8 option on for MSVC2015U3.
