This default could and probably should be configurable by localizers, but I would still suggest to default to UTF-8, and leave the localization possibility only for those locales where UTF-8 is really suboptimal or unwelcome. IIRC, China has its own transformation scheme for Unicode, so Chinese localizers may want to change that default. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8147#comment:3> Haiku <http://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
