Dangerous advice in optimize.md wrt Unicode
Quick Summary: Using a Unicode symbol like "↵" in an Elm string works fine. After following the uglifyjs advice in optimize.md it has encoding issues.
https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/master/hints/optimize.md
It seems to work fine without mangling, but I don't trust it any further.
- Elm: 19.1
- Operating System: Win10

Hi!
I tried to reproduce this (because I’m interested in minifying Elm code; I wrote https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/what-i-ve-learned-about-minifying-elm-code/7632).
But I didn’t manage.
module Main exposing (main)
import Html
main = Html.text "↵"
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<title>test</title>
<script src="elm.min.js"></script>
<div id="node1"></div>
<script>
Elm.Uni.init({ node: node1 })
</script>
Followed the commands at https://github.com/elm/compiler/blob/39949053f9469862b17006e3965f3b440414d13c/hints/optimize.md#instructions
UglifyJS version 3.15.3.
The “↵” displays correctly both before and after minification.
Am I missing something? Do you have steps to reproduce?
