Presumably UTF-8 is the most popular coding system today. Nevertheless,
it shares its mnemonic character displayed in the modeline with several
others (while legacy codings like ISO-8859-1 have their unique char):
U -- utf-8* (all variants)
U -- utf-16* (all variants)
U -- utf-7
u -- utf-7-imap
U -- koi8-u
I wonder if this could be disambiguated, such that "U" would be used
exclusively for UTF-8 and its variants. For example, as follows:
U -- utf-8* (all variants)
u -- utf-16* (all variants)
m -- utf-7* (Mnemonic: "m" for mail-safe or MIME)
Y -- koi8-u (Mnemonic: "Y" looks similar to 1st letter in "Українська")
WDYT?
