+	* localedata/locales/km_KH (LC_MESSAGES): Fix yestr and nostr.
+	The yesstr and nostr apparently	came from CLDR. And CLDR has a bug there:
+	these strings contain a U+17D6 (which somewhat looks like a colon)
+	instead of a real colon to separate the full words for “yes”
+	and “no” from the single letter responses.
