The World If Excel Encoded CSV Using UTF-8

The World If Excel Encoded CSV Using UTF-8
BEHOLD! The utopian future we were ROBBED of because Excel insists on using Latin-1 encoding for CSV files instead of UTF-8! 🙄 We could've had flying cars, space elevators, and gleaming futuristic cities, but NOOO! Instead, we're stuck debugging weird characters like "é" and "’" every time someone dares to use a non-English character in their spreadsheet! The AUDACITY of Microsoft to keep us in the dark ages with their encoding choices! This is why we can't have nice things, people!

Parsing UTF-8 Isn't Unicode Support

Parsing UTF-8 Isn't Unicode Support
The classic "we support Unicode" lie exposed in three painful acts. Sure, your app can parse UTF-8 and display emoji, but ask about combining characters or bidirectional text and suddenly everyone's looking at their shoes. It's like saying "I speak Spanish" because you can order a burrito. The true Unicode experience isn't just showing 💩 emoji – it's handling Arabic text flowing right-to-left while your English flows left-to-right without having an existential crisis. The silence after "what's that?" is the sound of technical debt being born.

Encoding Not Supported

Encoding Not Supported
THE ABSOLUTE TRAGEDY OF CHARACTER ENCODING! Someone tried to get "Happy Birthday" in Urdu on their cake, but the bakery's system had a COMPLETE MELTDOWN and just spewed question marks everywhere! This is the digital equivalent of asking your crush out and having them respond with "Error 404: Interest Not Found." Unicode support? Never heard of her! This cake is basically screaming "I TRIED TO BE MULTICULTURAL AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY STRING OF QUESTION MARKS." It's the perfect representation of every developer's nightmare when they forget to handle non-Latin characters and their app just FALLS APART in production!
