 In a computer file, the characters are stored as binary according to
 some scheme, called the encoding.  There are many different encodings.
-The simplest is ASCII, but it does not accomodate many characters so
-that for instance to get the a-umlaut character @"{a} in an
-ASCII-encoded text file a user must enter @code{\"a}, which makes the
-file hard to read and also means that @TeX{} won't hyphenation the word
-containing that character.  Often a more inclusive encoding is more
-convenient.  The modern standard, in some ways a union of the others, is
-UTF-8.

 In short, to enter material a user sets their file editor to use an
 encoding scheme and this package is how @LaTeX{} knows what encoding
