I could try to work on some user-friendly text if we think a prompt would be reasonable. A prompt would be my ideal behavior though since I often paste unicode by mistake. This type of thing hits me from time to time, not with symbols that are obviously non-ascii like ≠ but more with double-quotes or things like that that I forget are often non-ascii.

Thanks for your thoughts. Does this quote thing apply to mathed too, or 
rather text ?

But what is unicode? Only things over 0xFF?
