I substitute æ, ø and å with ae, oe and aa because it gives me trouble writing code. Does the programming language I write in and almost everything else support UTF-8: Yes. Does some obscure thing always fuck up the encoding of special characters: Yes.
Especially converting files and moving them between different OS sucks.
This is kinda what my joke is about, taking the parent comment “seriously” because someone, an American I presume, did not take encoding seriously once sometime and now fucks up my workflow for eternity.
Are there any major languages that actually struggle to be typed today?
