I remember this for the Japanese language back in the early 2000s when I started learning the language. Nowadays Japanese websites mostly use UTF-8, but back in 2000 there was a mixture of JIS, Shift-JIS, and EUC content, and sometimes browsers had difficulties automatically determining the encoding, resulting in rendering “mojibake” until I had to manually specify the encoding. Unicode is a great thing and has made computing more accessible to those who read and write in languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet.
