FWIW: The OS really likes Unicode, so lots of the text input, etc, are really
Unicode. ANSI apps (including non-Unicode web pages), get the data back from
those controls in ANSI, so you can lose data that it looked like you entered.
As mentioned, the solution is to fix the app to use

You can put diacritics over an arbitrarily large base by using an accent object
in a math zone. For example, in my email editor (Outlook), I type alt+= to
insert a math zone and then (a+b)\tildespacespace to get

Here's a peculiar question.
Is there a standard term to describe text that is in some subset CCS of another
CCS but, strictly speaking, is only really in the subset CCS because it doesn't
have any characters in it other than those represented in the smaller CCS?

If you want to get that point across to a general audience, you could
use a more colloquial term, albeit one that itself derives from mathematics.
Text that can be completely expressed in ASCII is fits into something
(ASCII) that works as a lowest common denominator of a large number of

Or did you mean this is UTF-8 even though in only has characters that also
look like ASCII? I was a bit confused :)
If you are communicating this information, then that's probably also a good
time to also communicate Use Unicode, like UTF-8, and you won't have this kind
of problem!

Specifically for ASCII, a common term is seven-bit ASCII.

What are also tricky are the 'almost' supersets, where there are only a few
different characters. Those definitely cause problems because the difference
in data is almost undetectable.
For example, Mark is referring to cases such as ISO 8859-1 and 8859-15.
Those share all
Even more interesting is Windows 1252 and ISO8859-15 where the former is a
repertoire superset of the latter for the graphic characters, but not an
encoding superset.

I like lowest common denominator as a helpful term. It's familiar and means
just the right thing, euphemistically.
Thank you, Asmus. You groked what I struggled to express.
