@dgoosens @pollita Given that the HTTP specs says that ISO-8891-1 should be interpreted as WIN1252 adds to the confusion.
And I'm not even talking about the mixup between encoding and charset...
Or MySQLs UTF-8 which in essence isn't UTF-8...
So yes:
*Use Unicode!*
(and support much more than english, french and german)
Whether with UTF-8 or UTF-16... who cares?
