Locales and UTF-8Locales and UTF-8Posted May 19, 2009 9:18 UTC (Tue) by epa (subscriber, #39769)In reply to: Locales and UTF-8 by ajross Parent article: Debian switching to EGLIBC
I agree that using some hacky alternative instead of UTF-8 will not improve security. Nothing I wrote should be taken as a reason to avoid UTF-8. (Though it's not true that you *always* have to include escaping mechanisms for ASCII input - some file formats such as /etc/passwd can get away with being completely stupid and not supporting escaping or accented characters at all.)
