YAML doesn't do any special treatment of characters above 0xFF; it assumes all valid Unicode code points above 0xFF are non-break-non-white "printable" characters and allows them to be used most anywhere. We used to treat NEL, LS, PS as line breaks but we gave it up to maintain JSON compatibility. We are OK as long as YAML is a superset of JSON, which seems to be the case. Oren.
