in reply to Re^3: How to reverse a (Unicode) string
in thread How to reverse a (Unicode) string

[iso-8859-1] is a unicode encoding, in that after you've decoded the character number, the number maps 1-on-1 to the Unicode space.

By that logic, UTF-8 is not a "unicode encoding". For example, C2 in Unicode does not map to C2 in UTF-8. Your choice of name for this trait is very poor.
