Hi Mauro,

This patch misses one occurrence of U+2014 in
Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/kernel.rst:1288.

There are also countless occurrences in Documentation/, outside of
Documentation/admin-guide.  I suppose another patch in the series, which
I didn't receive, will fix them?

These characters will just reappear elsewhere, eventually. I'm not sure
what is the gain here, other than minor consistence improvements. But we
should add a Warning during documentation generation (if there isn't one
already), to prevent them from spreading again.
