There are so many hairy details! UTF-8 gets a bit less coverage since it has fewer hairy details. From this I learned that Java and JavaScript now have optimizations to use LATIN-1 when they can. Normally they use UTF-16 (originally UCS-16). I take it that Using Latin-1 is an opportunistic optimization hidden from the program. I don't think Python 3 uses this. I think that Linux does this right and needs no such hack: just use UTF-8. Of course Java, JavaScript, Python 2, and Python 3 on Linux don't get it right. --- Post to this mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
