Especially if You're old enough to remember what ISO 8859-2 was for. One of the standards that everyone knew existed, yet few actually cared enough to correctly implement in practice. I still have a label printer that knows accented characters exist, yet the implementation is "shrink the accented letter to fit the label height with the accent"
