Do we need 1252 and 1250?

? Do we need converters for both? If we want to be able to read files saved in either character set, then yes.

What is the difference? I saw 1253 is for greek

5-line summaries at the top, you can see the specific differences in the tables.

Right now I change Soup to work with 1250 instead of an old bogus 1252

I'm not sure what "work with" means in the context of Soup.

Encoding in 1250 "works" fine if the non-english text you're writing is mostly Polish/Hungarian etc.

It's a bit less suited for say, norwegian or french, as it lacks characters like �, �, � and �,.
