Whoa. UTF-8 is older now than ASCII was when UTF-8 was invented.

@tek Still I am regularly confronted with IT systems that do not (properly) support it and display my name with an umlaut wrong.

@fabian wow, really?

I recently put my umlaut back into my name (my grandmother did research and found it was removed at immigration to USA) precisely because UTF-8 seems ubiquitous.

Admittedly I did not change my legal name.
