I too would guess yes. I believe any reasonably modern text editor will
support
UTF-8 and even likely default to saving in that encoding. I know mine does.

I guess, my statement doesn't apply if FILE_CHARSET only affects Django
text files, so disregard. My point was that non-UTF data is still actively
used despite the fact that "the whole world moved to Unicode".

I'll let Vasili follow-up on his use-case if possible/relevant.
TBH I'm not at all sure about the SQL data files bit, which is in part why
I asked here.

Yeah, I think it shouldn't come up. But I'm not sure I fully understand
Vasili's concern . Maybe if it was more specific with more details, I could
better understand it.
Django's documentation states:
Jon's logic seems right to me. I find the lack of tests disturbing, and I
wouldn't be surprised if there were other places where django loaded files
from disk without using FILE_CHARSET when a user of that setting would
expect it to be.

So Jon, are you basically saying that Vasili's concern shouldn't come up?
(That the whole "SQL data files" bit is misleading...?)

I'm the one that proposed this setting be removed.
The settings is used in the following areas:

I suppose this is its main use case. The Django template engine defaults to
loading files from
We are not talking about general data encodings here, FILE_CHARSET is used
to read Django text files from disk (template files, static files (css, js)
or translation catalogs). So the question is mainly about encoding usage in
text editors.
