Me too. To this Day our national Electric invoice standard uses ISO-8859-15. An that's just fine until somebody feels the need to have a look with Notepad, add a random space and save the file.

Notepad then helpfully changes the encoding to UTF-16 and the whole patch errors out somewhere down the chain.
