It's really difficult to explain the concept of mojibake to the software developer who is still believing that ASCII is fine.

It's also difficult to explain that they are using wrong font to render the kanji because of Han Unification.

The font issue is so challenging. Even Chinese developers (who obviously don’t think ASCII is fine) sometimes won’t understand why using a Chinese font to render kanji is an issue.
