POSIX has the notion of a "portable character set", which includes the ASCII letters, digits, forward slash, and a few others. It requires this set to be supported on any POSIX implementation. So the file system encoding should always be an ASCII superset, in the repertoire superset sense. I don't think POSIX assigns specific code points, so it doesn't have to be a superset in the coded character set sense. I'm sure those VMS users will tell us some day.
