The problem is not the encoding itself. The problem is that many file<br>
formats don't allow to specify the encoding. Positive examples are<br>
HTML and LaTeX where you (can|have to) declare the encoding. HTML<br>
pages are broken almost everywhere if no encoding is specified.<br>
<br>
I agree with Paulo that UTF-8 is the preferred encoding, whenever<br>
possible. The world is quite small nowadays.<br>
<br>
Is there any reason why Japanese prefer other encodings than UTF-8?<br>
<br>
AFAIK Vietnamese nowadays prefer UTF-8 over VISCII.<br>
