With or without the above Unicode preamble, a non-ASCII character in a docstring can cause the PDF version of a document to fail to build. See ticket #8036 [1] for an example of a case where a source file contains the above preamble, but the PDF version of the reference manual fails to build due to non-ASCII characters in the docstring of a method.
