Why would you assume that? Nope, they had to create their own standard -
differences being ISO-646-US for US-ASCII, TCA-BIG5 for Big5, GB-2312
for GB2312, KOI-8-R for KOI8-R, SHIFTJIS for Shift_JIS, CP-437 for
CP437, and a bunch more along that line.

Hmm, more painful then I thought at first glance. Gratitious differences
all over the place.
