Yeah, it doesn't make sense to have this character there.

I'll apply it on my tree. Yet, I'm considering adding an UTF-8
character on a kernel-doc markup.

One DVB parameter is called "Rolloff", and its usual symbol is
the greek letter alpha. There, it would make sense to use a
non-ascII character.

By coincidence, I just wrote such patch earlier today.
