To quote Raymond: "native speakers of ASCII will never be able to master
Unicode like a native"

I.E. not being facetious, so much as underestimating the frequency of
the problem occurring in other parts of the world due to living and
working in a single language environment where encoding issues almost
never arise (and where UTF-8 is by far the most common encoding after
ASCII and iso-8859-1).

Cheers,
Nick.
