## Text encoding
Data files containing non-ascii characters must use UTF-8 encoding.
An optional [byte order mark (BOM)](https://www.unicode.org/faq/utf_bom.html#BOM) is allowed, at the beginning of the file (only).
Also, your system should be configured with a locale that can decode UTF-8 text.
On some unix systems, you may need set the `LANG` environment variable, eg.
You can read more about this in [Unicode characters](#unicode-characters), below.
