> I've never seen one that plain ignores or uses error glyphs for characters >127 Reporting an error is the default behavior if you try to decode such a string with the ASCII codec in Python and .NET, at the very least. The first 128 characters of KOI8-R are, of course, ASCII (the "weird replacement characters" are, in fact, explicitly allowed!). But a file encoded in KOI8-R is only ASCII if it contains those first 128 chars. > if you don't use UTF-8, you can't use unicode and will be stuck in code page/locale hell. UTF-7 was a thing. It just turned out that nobody really needed it. |
