I vaguely recall a day when I read a beginner's book about
PASCAL, and was annoyed by its ASCII table, because it had
nothing to do with "real world standards" (at that time a
"real world standard" had a IBM GA number and used EBDCIC ;-)

Charsets in general are fascinating.  Admittedly I'm less
thrilled by SCSU (implementing it takes more than 5 minutes,
so far I got it).
