Thank you all for review. Below is the second version of original patch, addressing comments by Gábor and Peff.

While preparing v2 I found out that U+2702 was already suggested on the list eight months before cutting at perforation lines was implemented: https://public-inbox.org/git/200901181656.37813.markus.heidelberg@web.de/T/#m3856d2e5c5f3e1900210b74bf2be8851b92d2271

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] mailinfo: support Unicode scissors
Date: Mon, 1 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000

'git am --scissors' allows cutting a patch from an email at a scissors line. Such a line should contain perforation, i.e. hyphens, and a scissors symbol. Only ASCII graphics scissors '8<' '>8' '%<' '>%' are recognized by 'git am --scissors' command at the moment.

Unicode character 'BLACK SCISSORS' (U+2702) has been a part of Unicode since version 1.0.0 [1]. Since then 'BLACK SCISSORS' also became part of character set Emoji 1.0, published in 2015 [2]. With its adoption as an emoji, availability of this character on keyboards has increased.

Support UTF-8 encoding of '✂' in function is_scissors_line, for 'git am --scissors' to be able to cut at Unicode perforation lines in emails. Note, that Unicode character '✂' is three bytes in UTF-8 encoding and is spelled out using hexadecimal escape sequence.
