​I'm not sure what sense of "most" is meant.

If I said "most cases", I'd mean the number of web pages or emails using
that legacy encoding, perhaps weighted by the number of characters in the
page. But the Chinese encodings (as just one example) are many, many orders
of magnitude higher, for example, than any of the ones you mention. So in
what sense do you mean "most"?

FYI, while I don't have recent Google figures, there is
