What encoding do you use on GNUstep?

What encoding does MacOSX use?


In ISO-8859-1, "ö" is 246. So it seems that MacOSX uses ISO-8859-1.

In Macintosh encoding,  "ö" is 154. So it seems  that you're using the
Macintosh encoding.  Are you working with GNUstep on MacOSX ?  Perhaps
the default  encoding on MacOSX  is still the Macintosh  encoding, but
MacOSX works  with ISO-8859-1 (actually, OPENSTEP  works entirely with
UNICODE which is a superset of ISO-8859-1).



Or perhaps you mixed the results, and you have 246 on GNUstep which is
what I'd  expect, ISO-8859-1 on GNUstep,  and you have  154 on MacOSX,
which I would not be surprised to see, neither.
