Issues with file/character encoding

[AetherCollective]

I was editing the AppInfo using the toolkit and I was unable to switch from the Details Tab. A log was generated when I exited the toolkit.

DevelopmentToolkit.exe.log:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Edit:

Trimmed error log to show only 1 copy of each portion that's relevant to this issue.
Full log still available via PasteBin.

It also wiped my existing AppInfo.ini to nothing but the base template with blank values. Had to restore from a backup.

Found the issue. I had "©" in the description. Removing "©" fixed the app from crashing.

This is a known issue. I haven't had time to figure it out, but even if it can be avoided, this bug report is valid and should be open till we can fix it.
