LDC2 fails to compile, complains about unicode syntax error

[25hawkeye]

running the command dub build -b release-debug --compiler=ldc2 --arch x86_64-linux-gnu :cli-frontend builds everything successfully until something like botan (lost the original build log file) attempts to compiles and displays
sideloadererrorlog.txt

I am using Arch linux with ldc2 (v.1.34) as mentioned in the actions.
Im new to these types of errors, so if anyone needs more info ill be happy to help!

The package for Arch Linux may have some issue, can you try with a toolchain installed with the bash script available on dlang.org?

Assuming you mean the bash script at curl -fsS https://dlang.org/install.sh | bash -s dmd, I installed it, rebooted, activated it via source ~/dlang/dmd-2.109.1/activate and recompiled only to be met with the same issue (I did uninstall dmd before the script)
