That's all fine and dandy until your app decides to default to ISO-8859-1.
Happened at work. Customers could log in via web or use an email client. On the website we used UTF-8. But depending on operating system settings the email client would use UTF-8 or windows-1252 or iso-8859-15 or for our international customers some even more obscure (to us) ones.
As a native of language that falls into two different windows charesets, the iso and utf I support death penalty for anyone still not using utf8 for everything and everywhere.
