About 15 years ago, I was affraid of similar thing. Not because security, but because possible mojibake. I was affraid that the same text file will cause havock when interpreted as cp1250 by one program and when interpret as cp437 or as UTF-8 by another program. One of the programs would be the compiler, other night be version control system or my text editor. I set my text editor (jEdit) to accept 7bit ASCII only in order to detect this. Happily the only thing it ever detected was ... (three dots) vs … (unicode ellipsis) in code comments caused by Mac coworkers (I used Windows).

No no, you got it wrong. This is why git repos have a branches features. /s

Nowadays even unicode can be malicious

I have also been ever mistrustful of the poop emoji. Always avoiding clicking on it.
