I am running Debian 11 and trying to run asciidoctor and

"\\xE2" from ASCII-8BIT to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)
This looks a bit as if the thing were receiving a character encoding it
doesn't expect.
FWIW, hex E2 would be "â" in Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1, more precisely). I
don't know which kind of input asciidoctor needs (beyond ASCII, that
is).
What you can do is
- find out whether it's specific characters in your input
which trigger the problem
- experiment with iconv (e.g. iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 < from > to)
Perhaps there's an option to asciidoctor to tell it what your file's
enccding is supposed to be.
Perhaps, also, your file is UTF-8 and asciidoctor guesses so,but there
are some "bad" sequences strewn in.
