Actually, IME, just like you, they expect it to DTRT, which for *them* is to save it in Shift-JIS or Alternativj or UTF-totally-whacked as their other programs do. > So I see no downside to using utf-8 when the C locale is defined. You don't have much incentive to look for one, and I doubt you have the experience of the edge cases (if you do, please correct me), so that does not surprise me. I'm not saying there are such cases here, I just want a little time to look harder.
