To quote Raymond: "native speakers of ASCII will never be able to master Unicode like a native" I.E. not being facetious, so much as underestimating the frequency of the problem occurring in other parts of the world due to living and working in a single language environment where encoding issues almost never arise (and where UTF-8 is by far the most common encoding after ASCII and iso-8859-1).
