Which is totally and utterly opaque. So much so that one feels forced to add a 
comment

  // ∡

but then MSVC complains, too.

Lose-lose.

The question really is: why does this come up only now? Is it because of 
MSVC2015, and does it thus mean that only compilers that provide the /utf-8
option warn? In that case, the correct thing is to enable the option and leave 
UTF-8 chars in the source alone.

Thanks,
Marc
