Top Ten List: Reasons To Abandon Shift-JIS Encoding
In the spirit of encouraging developers, especially those in Japan, to provide better or more broad support for Unicode, which usually entails abandoning Shift-JIS encoding, I became inspired this evening to put together a Top Ten List that provides various Reasons To Abandon Shift-JIS Encoding, similar to the Unicode Beyond-BMP one that I prepared a couple years ago.
While humor is intended in such Top Ten Lists, there is also a serious side to this issue: Given that today's systems work together, by clinging to Shift-JIS, developers can adversely affect other systems that do support Unicode.
Enjoy!
