Comment:

 Agreed about adding more tests for other special characters later.

 I'm not sure how to verify that the MaxMind files are actually UTF-8
 encoded.  That's different from writing our own unit tests where we
 provide our own data.  This verification code would have to run in the
 production code and somehow detect the character encoding when parsing
 MaxMind's files.  Any idea how to do that?

 I just merged the branch to master.  I'll leave this ticket open until we
 have resolved the minor remaining issues above.
