riscof validateyaml: ruamel yaml reader choking on special character

[kaddkaka]

When trying to riscof validateyaml --config=config.ini(here) with the template ini file generated by riscof setup --dutname=spike (here) I get the following error:

     INFO | [--riscv_config.checker--]: Load Schema /home/bo/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/riscv_config/schemas/schema_isa.yaml

well.. I am not able to replicate this error at my end ? Could try a fresh run with the latest riscof (pip install -U riscof) maybe and see if you still see this issue ?

I assume this issue does not persist anymore. Please reopen if necessary.
