Thanks Sven,

Today I used your superb documentation to solve a bug in my software caused by my improper handling of encoding. Your documentation was very helpful.

Thanks. BTW, here is the official book link: http://files.pharo.org/books/enterprisepharo/book/html/Zinc-Encoding-Meta.ht... Which you'll find starting from http://books.pharo.org

Cheers,

This is a nice article:

Which refers to this well known article:

PS: in Pharo, the first part of this draft might help too:

Character Encoding and Resource Meta Description

A newer version will be part of the upcoming book.
