Sure, thanks for a detailed analysis. What I agree with is removing
non-ASCII characters in case they cause a functional or build problems,
just because, as you said, fixing Kbuild is a big task.

However, in this particular case, this is just about user seeing rubbins
in the configuration menu, which is not a big deal, I think, so I would
prefer to rather expose the issue than fix it.
