I think typos can creep in when, say for example, you're switching from one character set to another...maybe. So maybe in the conversion process, something goes awry and the character set goes from Unicode 8 (UTF-8) to ASCII. Problems can appear there, perhaps.

Talking about character sets, I wish the computing industry would abandon ASCII entirely and move entirely to UTF-8. ASCII is such an Anglo-centric character set leaving the languages of the rest of the world aside.
