Hi Jeremy,

I think I have bad news. Today I edited couple of my TWs (fortunately minor
ones) via FF (with TiddlyFox) and they got badly corrupted. Those wikis
contain text in cyrillics, and seem to be wrongly encoded. Auto-decoding
via some online survice shows that the encoding is partially CP1163,
partially ISO-8859-1 (and sometimes even that is not 100% correct).
Fortunately, I've restored everything via decoding.


Not Jeremy, but I have a guess about what's going on. I would guess
that both TiddlyWiki and TiddlyFox are predisposed to treating all
content as UTF-8 encoded and _nothing_ else and don't bother to
check before decoding or encoding what encoding might already be
present.

TiddlyWeb certainly takes this tactic. It minimizes complexity while
maximizing possible character representations.
