An include-exclude file can be in Unicode or non-Unicode
format.
If the codeset used to create an include-exclude list file does
not match the codeset used on the client computer, characters in the
file that cannot be mapped by the client’s codeset to a displayable
character cannot be processed when backups are performed.
Using Unicode encoding for files containing include-exclude lists
eliminates the unmapped character problem, so you no longer need to
use wildcard characters as substitutes for the unrecognized characters.
