My data relates to feeds, so it may not apply here, but in general UTF-16, while used internally in many places, is not widely supported as an interchange format. Here are the encodings that the feed validator does *not* mark as obscure: 'US-ASCII', 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8', 'EUC-JP', 'ISO-8859-2', 'ISO-8859-15', 'ISO-8859-7', 'KOI8-R', 'SHIFT_JIS', 'WINDOWS-1250', 'WINDOWS-1251', 'WINDOWS-1252', 'WINDOWS-1254', 'WINDOWS-1255', 'WINDOWS-1256' One other deserves special mention: 'GB18030'. Doesn't seem to be popular, but is the Chinese government's mandatory standard. - Sam Ruby _______________________________________________ Es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
