Description Jungshik Shin 2014-08-29 21:27:09 UTC 
Unlike EUC-JP, EUC-KR, Shift_JIS round-trips between U+0080 and 0x80. Is it intentional?  I haven't seen other Shift_JIS converter that does that.
Comment 1 Anne 2014-08-31 12:23:09 UTC 
Is it only Gecko that does this? What about Internet Explorer? It might be that Presto and Gecko did this and that I thought preserving it would be less harmful than converting to U+FFFD.

(If you don't have time to answer the questions, don't worry, I'll get around to it eventually.)
Comment 2 Simon Montagu 2014-08-31 14:09:02 UTC 
Gecko started to do this for compatiblity with Internet Explorer.
Comment 3 Anne 2014-08-31 15:25:02 UTC 
Thanks, in that case this is indeed intentional.
