1. Unicode dominating the Web?

    May 5th, 2008

    I wish, but more likely this is a measure of the reported encoding of Web pages based on their HTTP headers.  And that would not be surprising.  Let’s be real, it’s just a header that we all copy over and over just because it seems like the right thing to do.  And most modern frameworks put it there for you, even when you’re serving ASCII text from a latin1 encoded database table. Still, A for effort.
