[22:45:17] <bawolff>	 Amir1: re https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T337700#8900550 <-- Fun fact, UTF-8 is actually the same age. Both were invented in 1992
[22:56:25] <Amir1>	 Then why Microsoft just didn't use utf-8. Ughhhhh
[22:56:49] <Amir1>	 Wonderful world of encodings
[23:01:52] <bawolff>	 It somewhat depends a bit on what you define as "windows-1252". Its basically iso-8859-1 which is mid-80s. But yeah, it would have saved a lot of grief if people jumped on the utf-8 bandwagon a lot earlier
[23:02:14] <bawolff>	 Also saved us from terrible things like UTF-16 *shudder*
[23:32:47] <p858snake>	 but if everything was perfect in the past bawolff, you wouldn't have the /fun/ of picking it apart now >.>
