I'll have the Converted OSM files available later today (hopefully)
Then it would be a good time to update the wiki.

Your use of the U+FFFD replacement character in the data suggests some sort of encoding conversion problem.

It's the french accented letters which cause the conversion being wrong.
And i list the french word for each feature, as that's how it is from the source. (French is the Official 2nd language)
Would it be better to just list the 'english' & french text with ':en & :fr? as a separate tag?
I don't know how to add the different characters.
Do you have a better solution?
Thanks,

What encoding is the data originally in and how are you converting it? You converting "cour à bois" to "cour [U+FFFD] bois" suggests a easy-to-fix encoding issue in your code.
And yes, structured data is better, so perhaps
canvec:value=Lumber yard - ( Cour à bois )should be split up intocanvec:value:en=Lumber yardandcanvec:value:fr=Cour à bois. Although that tagging schema suggests those values came from the canvec dataset.
