> I find myself wondering how useful that particular test is these days, given that everyone should be using UTF-8? Not as useless as you might think. There are still character encoding issues to be found in systems where character corruption won't be noticed without non-ASCII characters. It also helps reveal hardcoding, since hardcoded strings will have no accents, while keeping the user interface in English (so that testers don't complain that they "can't read the screens") Adding diacritics can help with sorting/searching tests as well as text-transforms. Of course, pseudo should also include other transforms, including string-end decoration (such as with square brackets or CJK quotes so you can see concatenations), emoji (testing supplemental character support, cluster support, etc.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by aphillips Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/i18n-drafts/issues/694#issuecomment-3001198773 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
