scriptencoding utf-8
set encoding=utf-8

Interesting. So seems the Linux distro you use was causing an issue there (as it's fine on the Mac OS X platform).

So set encoding is how the characters are displayed in Vim, but I guess on your platform there was an issue with how it interpreted the character at the end of that line with regards to parsing the vimrc at runtime?

I'm going to close this issue as I don't think it's something I want to add into the .vimrc for all users/platforms when it seems to only affect a select number of users.

But what I've done is added a pointer/reference to this issue (see: https://github.com/Integralist/ProVim/blob/master/.vimrc#L61-L63) so that future users will know where to look and will find your fix.

Hope that's OK
