HellaMensch, Datev.
Wenn Du das mit UTF-8 im Jahr 2026 (ok, Dokument ist von 2025) immer noch nicht hinbekommst, dann verwende halt keine Umlaute.
FionnWhen you buy and create #postage labels to Czechia online with #DHL, the "world leader" 😅 of international transport, in their own web portal, you get a PDF label with malformed special characters (shown correctly on the web page but mangled on the label - after you paid) and a cut-off street address.
Billions and billions of turnaround, and they still can't even get the basics right.
But of course, one thing worked perfectly; withdrawing the full amount for the label, instantly.

Also das mit dem scheiΔ Encoding Δben wir aber nochmal, liebe ΔBB 🙃
DaveI just love how after all the technical progress we have had in #softwaredevelopment , using the correct #schei_encoding still seems to be an insanely hard problem to solve.

Axel 🚴😷🐧🐪⌨ | #WeAreNatenomIt arrived albeit #FedEx fucked up all #umlauts in my shipping address, even in two different ways:
Once they obviously took #UTF8 as #ISOLatin and once they seem to have taken one #8bit charset as another 8-bit charset, probably #ISOLatin1 as #CP850. 🙄 #schei_encoding #mojibake
@Venty once described systems that have such issues as #UmlautlyChallenged. 😉
But at least it arrived! I heard from a keyboard dealer that they stopped sending parcels to Europe with FedEx due to too much packet loss…
