The following cases would be interesting aswell:

  * U+20AC - the euro currency symbol which
    is in Windows-1252 but not in ISO-8859-1

  * the sequence 'o' followed by U+0308 which
    is the NFD form of U+00F6 (&ouml;)

  * \udb40\udc7f, which is a surrogate pair
    for U+E007F

  * the characters ' ', '?', ':'

  * CRLF

In name in value. FWIW.
