I get that going from ascii to all of unicode is often a huge leap, and in some cases there are legit security concerns without obvious solutions, and I'm not expecting average American to know every character from every language. But this is in Latin-1 and CP437...

This character has almost certainly been in the default text encoding for whatever computer anyone in America has been using since they've been using computers.

I'm not advocating for software to default to latin-1 or cp437 as its default set of supported characters or anything, but expecting Americans to know what the characters in that set are seems reasonable

The one time we accidentally diverged from the semver spec I regretted it

if the semver spec requires specifically the ascii alnum class i would simply write a v3 of the spec that uses the unicode category rules instead. possibly even a 2.1, depending on rule strength

Yes, that is what I am advocating for
