You've never worked in finance then. All our systems at work do nothing but move large amounts of txt files around.

That said, many of our clients still don't support utf-8 so its all ascii and non-latin alphabets are screwed. They can't even handle characters 128-255 so even stuff like £ is unsupported.

Ah, yes, I heard about that sort of thing. Some bank getting a GDPR complaint because they couldn't correct the spelling of someone's name, because their system uses EBCDIC.

Probably not an issue then...
