Latin1 in wkt name? What I remember was a reduced set of ascii chars.

cf https://docs.ogc.org/is/18-010r7/18-010r7.html

<crs name> ::= <quoted Latin text>  (paragraph 8.1  )

and https://docs.ogc.org/is/18-010r7/18-010r7.html#15

but you're right calling this Latin1 is a bit misleading. Th only non-ASCII character allowed in this "quoted Latin text" rule, as far as I can see, is the degree symbol.

    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
    https://github.com/opengeospatial/geotiff/issues/56#issuecomment-2039505940

    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.
