12 months ago This is caused by an encoding issue on the github actions runner, not an issue with the character itself. No need for a workaround, this can be fixed.
Unicode has multiple different encodings. UTF-8 is the standard that should be used everywhere by default. For reasons that only Microsoft would know, they decided to use UTF-16 in Windows.
© (U+00A9) is encoded as 0x00A9 in UTF-16 and 0xC2 0xA9 in UTF-8. If you try to load it with UTF-16 it can get misinterpreted as separate characters: 0x00C2 0x00A9, or ©.
I suspect this is due to vcsetup.iss being saved in UTF-8 without BOM (byte order marks), so Windows decided to mangle it into UTF-16 to make life just a little bit harder.
