Thank you for opening an issue!

This is a bug upstream in the yaml.v3 package. This issue go-yaml/yaml#737 and the PR to fix it go-yaml/yaml#738 have been open for some time and met with silence. The problem seems to be that there's a character in UTF-16 sequences that are parsed properly, but on rewriting are not properly detected as printable. I will try and bump the PR and issue, hopefully it can get merged some time soon.

If it takes too long, I may have to fork it and pull it in as a submodule in this repo, but I would really like to avoid that if possible.

I managed to create a hotfix that will parse the literal unicode codepoints and re-encode them properly. It's pretty overkill, but all signs point to this not being fixed in yaml.v3 any time soon.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention!
