With ASCII æs the åriginal sin. Can't even spell my name with that joke of an encoding >:(
Are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.
Yes I'm being sarcastic, but I also think utf-8 is plaintext these days. I really can't spell my name in US ASCII. Like the other commenter here went into more detail on, it has its history, but isn't suited for today's international computer users.
