Description
The current version of JQuery jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.js has 2 characters which require the file to be UTF-8 encoded JavaScript characters.
The characters are are on line 9563:
en dash or \\u2013
em dash or \\u2014
These characters appear on 1 line in the file, they could be easily be changed to avoid the problems.
// Initialize unlinked menu-items containing spaces and/or dashes only as dividers
menus.children( ":not(.ui-menu-item)" ).each(function() {
var item = $( this );
// hyphen, em dash, en dash
if ( !/[^\\-\\u2013\\u2014\\s]/.test( item.text() ) ) {
item.addClass( "ui-widget-content ui-menu-divider" );
}
});
This creates a problem with 2 different systems.
Older versions of CVS running on UNIX systems do not have
good support for UTF-8 files.
The English version of the WebLogic Application Server chokes
on this file. It requires the Application server to be configured for International characters.

Moved to here: http://bugs.jqueryui.com/ticket/9016
This belongs in the jQuery UI bug tracker, per the instructions in that big red box over the bug reporting form.
I'll just leave it open here for now and they can move it over.
Scott, if you implement this suggested change be sure to add the Uglify option
beautify: { ascii_only: true }during build or Uglify will change it back during compression.This is the code I'm using to ensure nothing sneaks through: https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/2f6b3f818fc51ee6ae44be69dc6b15b3d7a2dad4/Gruntfile.js#L411 . We talked about making it a task a few months back but I'm not sure it's general enough. I added the line ending check just a couple of days ago.
