Net ASCII is 7bit and is 1:1 mapped with UTF-8 unicode. It's just old broken 8bit encodings that are problematic.
The kernel maintainers/help/config pretty consistently use UTF8 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
