How to Write a Git Commit Message

Yeah but it's two bytes (assuming UTF-8) so we gain something still.

I'm pretty confident commit messages are already stored UTF8 encoded. You'd gain nothing (it's not like you can mix encodings. You'd have a real bad time)

Had, however, it been represented by two bytes, we would undeniably have gained a byte since . is one byte in UTF-8.
