Subject: Always use unicode ellipsis when ellipsizing
X-Git-Tag: v232.2~62
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?p=elogind.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=2aa9a6ee147f5dab268d9546af3ef3749153dadd;ds=sidebyside

Always use unicode ellipsis when ellipsizing

We were already unconditionally using the unicode character when the
input string was not pure ASCII, leading to different behaviour in
depending on the input string.
