rpmbuild -bs fails for Illegal character

I am trying to build RPM files for the first time ever. I have read through the procedures from RPM Packaging Guide

The spec file giving me issues can be found here- AWX-RPM-V2

  1. I setup my build tree rpmdev-setuptree
  2. I copied my spec files into the SPECS folder
  3. When running rpmbuild -bs ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/awx-rpm.spec I get the error message - error: Line 14: Illegal char '?' (hex_code) in: Version: ¤Version¤

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Your problem is that the person who made that file thought using the unicode character ¤ for unspecified currency as a quote character was a great idea.
