Yeah, I do @musllibc, FOSS & infosec stuff. But now is not the time for a mostly-/only-tech Twitter feed.

      I'm considering requiring file names to be UTF-8 on Sortix. Traditionally Unix allows any byte sequence (except '\0' and '/') in an unspecified encoding. This just creates problems. File names you can't type. Programming languages with UTF-16 strings can't access them.

      It's nice, in a way, that the kernel doesn't care about the encoding. But it shifts the problem to user-space. Just today a bot broke at work because of a file name that wasn't UTF-8 and python just couldn't handle that. It's 2018, I can try and make everyone use a UTF-8 locale.

      I'm also considering disallowing newlines in file names. I can't think of a good use. Their existence in file names is why some tools produce/consume \0 delimited records, but many tools just do newlines (especially portability). Forbidding them makes things a lot simpler.

      Interoperability is a key concern. What if I mount such a filesystem? I could try to 'correct' the file name (drop or fix chars), have a fallback representation (hexencode). I could move the inode to /lost+found as corrupted or return EIO.

      IMO, the best approach is to have a fallback representation, and maybe do charset transcoding on mounted filesystems.

      You already need to handle something like this if you want to mount FAT, after all, since the only charsets there are legacy and UTF-16.

      s/UTF-16/UCS-2 with illegal code values in the range D800-DFFF allowed/ (the FS makes no requirement that they be in pairs that are valid as UTF-16).

      Oh, right. Either UCS-2 or potentially-invalid UTF-16, depending on how you describe it.

      The fun part is that countries like Japan widely adopted a mutibyte encoding long before utf8 was invented, and have stuck with them.

      Japan is pretty much the only partial holdout, and decreasingly so. Shift_JIS presence on the web dropped by ~50% between 2014 and 2018.

          perhaps http://xahlee.info/w/what_encoding_do_chinese_websites_use.html … is out of date and nobody has legacy data.

          I just checked all sites there, and all have them except qq and 163 have converted to UTF-8. :)

          curiously, 163 seems to have reverted to GBK since that list was made...

          I'd be more comfortable if the call for utf-8 was coming from the people affected...

          It's not a "call". You're arguing about something that was over/decided nearly a decade ago. We're just describing what happened.

          FWIW the popular Japanese encodings, ISO-2022 and Shift_JIS, were *never* options on real-world unices because they're incompatible with filesystem, format strings, etc. EUC-JP was, but anyone using it was already incompatible with the majority Windows-world..
