You know, the techincal aspect is one thing. Understanding
the coding of the characters as a whole is something
else. The important point is not the coding per se, the
relevant point is the set of characters a coding may
represent.

You can build the most sophisticated mechanism you which,
if it does not take that point into account, it will
always fail or be not optimal.

This is precicely the weak point of this flexible
representation. It uses latin-1 and latin-1 is for
most users simply unusable.

Fascinating, isn't it? Devs are developing sophisticed
tools based on a non working basis.
