Hi,
OGC GeoTIFF mostly formalizes the historical GeoTIFF 1.0 specification
from 1995, and UTF-8 at that time was still in its youth years. Not to
be mentioned that GeoTIFF was initially developed by NASA' JPL, so I
assume ASCII was good enough at that time for their purpose. As far as I
can see all EPSG CRS names as currently only use ASCII. It is true
though that WKT CRS potentially allows for more than ASCII for CRS name,
but only in the Latin1 character set.
Anyway this would be more a topic for an issue at
https://github.com/opengeospatial/geotiff/issues . I've added a note to
the existing

Hello,
I had to read a bit deeper the Geo TIFF 1.1 standard and I was quite
surprised to see that in doesn't allow any character representation
outside the 7-bit ASCII text. Am I missing something?
In particular CitationGeoKeys that are mandatory in certain cases do
not allow for anything other than ASCII text. Seems a bit strange for
an international standard.
