Comment Comment by cyberax UTF-8 is simply genius. It entirely obviated the need for clunky 2-byte encodings (and all the associated nonsense about byte order marks).The only problem with UTF-8 is that Windows and Java were developed without knowledge about UTF-8 and ended up with 16-bit characters.Oh yes, and Python 3 should have known better when it went through the string-bytes split. parent cyberax 1 year ago
