FWIW: there is no way that a ""character set"" like UTF-8 can have all of the 1114112 codepoints it contains converted into the mere 255 characters contained in traditional codepages like CP437... there simply are not enough character slots on both sides... if there were, we wouldn't need UTF-8 or all of the various codepages in the first place ;)
