Build fails on Linux with: "error: unmappable character for encoding ASCII"

[cbvms123]

Compiling and building on Linux fails because of an UTF-8 encoded source file:
richtextfx/src/main/java/org/fxmisc/richtext/model/TextEditingArea.java

Adding the encoding options
build.gradle: compileJava.options.encoding = 'UTF-8'

richtextfx/build.gradle(javadoc section): options.addStringOption('encoding', 'UTF-8')

Resolved the issue in my environment.

I use Linux and it builds fine on mine. Why does it fail on yours but not mine? Do our locations have anything to do with it?

[cbvms123]

Indeed, I checked my locale related settings and found when unsetting LC_CTYPE the build works also on my box. Maybe with LC_CTYPE=C you may be able to reproduce the error on your side as well.

I'd guess that's the issue. I've contributed to this project for a while and never had that arise.

Via the command env, I don't have an environment variable for LC_CTYPE, but I do for LANG: LANG=en_US.UTF-8
