James Knight points out that UTF-8b can be used to give unambiguous round-tripping of characters in a UTF-8 locale. So I would like to amend my previous proposal: - for a non-UTF-8 encoding, use private-use characters for roundtripping - if the locale's charset is UTF-8, use UTF-8b as the file system encoding.
