- bombcar 5y agoYep, and here's a good test case for it: http://catb.org/jargon/html/M/mojibake.html http://catb.org/jargon/html/M/mojibake.html itself is mojibaked because it's assumed to be UTF-8 and isn't.
- hsivonen 5y agoNotably, the single menu item in Firefox does what it says on this page, so this page doesn't demonstrate why having just one menu item is a problem.
- int_19h 5y agoI'm sure it works quite well with UTF-8. I'm less sure that it is able to consistently distinguish e.g. various Cyrillic encodings. And yes, CP1251 and even KOI8-R are still occasionally a thing when it comes to websites.
- hsivonen 5y agoHave you encountered concrete cases of failures with Cyrillic single-byte encodings (where the letters fail; there are cases where box drawing characters fail due to preferring letters over box drawing)?
