I refuse to believe any standard considered fit for use in 2024 allows absolutely no special characters via escape sequences.

  Councils can barely afford standards fit for for use in 1994, unfortunately

    Can't the government fund a single open standard? Every council is now individually paying to license this broken spec.

      You can make that suggestion at https://github.com/co-cddo/open-standards https://github.com/co-cddo/open-standards That's the UK Government's discussion space for adopting open standards. (I used to work there.)

        Thanks, I will do! I'm a big fan of the UK government's commitments to open standards and their whole IT philosophy in general. That said local councils usually give me quite the opposite feeling. I will definitely look into your suggestion in the hope of seeing some trickle-down!
