One concern I have with all of these solutions is that, if I use them in
a file that is encoded in ASCII, Emacs will switch the encoding to
Unicode, and that could have unexpected consequences (e.g., with version
control). But I have also noticed that many of my Org files (though not
the one I originally encountered this problem in) are already encoded in
UTF-8, and I haven't had any Unicode-related problems. Are these fears
misplaced?
Best,
Richard
