Hi,

Thank you for reporting this error.

I have corrected the problem in CVS -- rdiff-backup will no longer have a fatal error if it cannot handle an unknown Unicode character. The fix will be present in rdiff-backup versions 1.1.17 and above.

Python 3 / 2.6 will introduce much better support for Unicode in Python. The plan is for the next edition of rdiff-backup development (1.3.x and beyond) to include complete support for Unicode (and never encounter an 'unknown' character).

thanks,
Andrew
