for example, I prefer using U+FF08 “（”, chinese erackets, for chinese comments, and I think ambiguous Unicode characters can’t used for attack in comments lines. So is not necessary to warning when comments lines have some ambiguous Unicode characters.

Is there a config to ignore ambiguous Unicode characters in comments lines?

Just want to say I’ve run into this same problem. I had a unicode character on a comment line, and it showed the error. I just removed the unicode character and it went away.

Ignoring comment lines would be a great idea, and maybe it would need to be an option because not everyone would want this functionality.
