As text processing has moved away from encodings like Windows 1252 and Shift-JIS to UTF-8, mojibake has become much less of an issue. It was a frequent mess in the 1990s though.

I remember frequently having to manually select the correct encoding while browsing in the 90s and early 00s. I’m glad it’s gone.

I still regularly see mojibake from Japanese ZIP files. The worst has indeed passed, but it will remain a lingering problem for decades.
