Converting copied Library ID from Unicode to ASCII

Last August, the OneDrive Group Policy documentation has been updated to include a Unicode to ASCII conversion to manage synced library (see https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SharePoint/commit/f0e63a2a667a41e514f24b1bfd76f5654c22cca8#diff-b2e9feac11fcf00c73901527a94c69e8).

Several users, including myself, reported that it adding synced libraries works well even without replacing Unicode with ASCII (see https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SharePoint/issues/323#issuecomment-555513345, https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SharePoint/issues/323#issuecomment-589993484 and https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/OfficeDocs-SharePoint/issues/1941).

Nevertheless, the need to manually replace Unicode with ASCII would make the procedure a little bit cumbersome, no longer that straightforward.

Does anyone have some clarifications on this?
