Hi Andreas,
here, the culprit is
U+2019 : RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK {single comma quotation mark}
that is used as an apostrophe in two places in "Apple's".
I found this by looking for 0xe2 (from your error message) in an hexdump
(od -A d -xc README.rst |less ) at the named position (7116).
Cheers
Klaus
