There’s a difference between asssuming and not making a distinction.
Very few developers I’ve met know could make a distinction. They’d see a few off characters and think it’s some one-off bug but it’s because they’re both assuming an encoding.
Even if you said you’d pay them one billion dollars to fix it, they’d absolutely be unable to.

Unless you want it fixed immediately, then a million dollars should motivate almost any developer to spend a month learning, a month doing, and a few years on vacation. A billion is incomprehensible.
