[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Unicode in root.txt

[Dan Scott]

Unicode (at least the UTF8 encoding) should work just fine in Asciidoc.
Running "asciidoc root.txt" against Evergreen master on Fedora 22 works for
me without any problems, at least nothing related to Unicode in root.txt.

As for U2019, per http://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NamesList.txt that's
actually the preferred usage for "apostrophe", and there are U2013 en
dashes, which are also fine.

So I would be against getting rid of those (valid) instances of Unicode
characters and the BOM.
