Hum. Would it make sense to introduce a test that checks all script-files for non-ascii-characters?

I can so see that happening again...

I added this as one of the checks that [packages.bro.org](http://packages.bro.org) does,

corelight/bro-hardware is the only one I found that has non-ascii in it.. but all in the auto generated data.bro.

I actually am more concerned about the scripts that we ship with Bro itself :). Though it is nice to have for packages too...

Oh 🙂 I hadn't ran it on the scripts that come with bro.. it finds one non-ascii char:

base/protocols/rdp/consts.bro:230 non ascii characters

which is

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[1044] = "Norwegian (Bokmål)",
