The fact that you don't care about charsets and encodings is that all software
developers just started using Unicode/utf8 everywhere since about 2000.

Also, as an English native speaker you don't read non-Latin alphabet text,
except those fancy accents present in French which is well supported within
8-bit encoding. The rest of the world was suffering from multiple encodings
until the Unicode standard took place.
