My scratchpad for encoding related notes.

Goals

  • Document existing practices for
    • Supported encodings
    • Supported aliases
    • Supported matching algorithm
  • Converge the various used algorithms
  • Get the new rules implemented

Current Implementations

Does this differ per platform? Opera might differ a bit on Mac.

Data

Integrate this awesome data somehow:

Opera

Matching

UTS22 and ASCII lowercasing.
