In other words, it's partially working. Not honoring the locale's
encoding isn't a small problem.
You still seem to have said that UTF-8 is also not suitable because of
round-trip problems. (You said it's not a "one-to-one match", but never
elaborated.) Could you please either elaborate, provide a link to an
explanation of what you meant, or withdraw the statement? There's too
much misinformation about Unicode about, and vague statements like those
make things worse.
