Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Studio Controls crashed due to a character out of range.
Further investigation showed that line 221 of /etc/login.defs  had a comment:

# If set to yes, userdel will remove the user\u00B4s group if it
contains no

Changing it to:

# If set to yes, userdel will remove the user's group if it contains no

fixed the problem.
