error
"Error: Outside Unicode code space".

This appears to be an incorrect error message. It is upset about 
double quotes that lean forward or backwards, and apostrophes 
that lean backwards. And dashes that aren't the keyboard dash 
character.

The editor I am using (Code::Blocks) displays the characters just 
fine. So it seems that the error message should be "Error: 
Outside the ASCII code space".

D supports stuff outside the ASCII code space just fine.

Are you sure the file is saved as utf 8? if it is something like 
Windows 1252 it can still often be displayed but dmd won't know 
what to make of it.

When I checked "Settings->Editor...->Encoding Settings" it was 
set to WINDOWS-1252. Changing it to UTF-8 fixed the issue. Thanks!
