Hi! As previously (https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/08/msg00217.html) discussed, I'd like to propose improving support for UTF-8. All material shipped with Debian should be encoded this way, or, for media with an opaque format, as something capable of storing any Unicode character, without need for any extra steps. There are four sub-goals: * user-accessible interfaces (GUI, stdin, stdout, stderr, command line, reading/writing plain-text files) should be able to pass through UTF-8 data uncorrupted, by default * UTF-8 should be properly displayed * all filenames in Debian packages, binary and source, must use UTF-8 (obviously, 7-bit ASCII satisfies this requirement) * all text files shipped by Debian should be encoded in UTF-8 The wiki entry: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/utf-8 -- ᛊᚨᚾᛁᛏᚣ᛫ᛁᛊ᛫ᚠᛟᚱ᛫ᚦᛖ᛫ᚹᛖᚨᚲ
