Summary
The documentation provides a generally balanced overview of character encoding across platforms, but there is a notable Windows bias in several sections. Windows tools (Explorer, Notepad, Notepad++, PowerShell, CMD, PowerShell ISE, Windows Terminal) are mentioned and illustrated more frequently and in greater detail than Linux/macOS equivalents. Windows-specific troubleshooting steps, font settings, and encoding conversions are described before or instead of Linux alternatives. PowerShell examples and commands are prominent, while Linux commands (like iconv, file) are present but less emphasized. Some sections, such as file encoding conversion and font troubleshooting, focus heavily on Windows utilities, with Linux guidance provided later or in less detail.
Recommendations
- Add more Linux/macOS-specific examples and screenshots, especially for encoding conversion, font troubleshooting, and viewing file encodings.
- Present Linux and Windows tools in parallel (e.g., show both PowerShell and Bash/iconv/file commands for encoding conversion).
- Include macOS-specific notes where relevant (e.g., default encoding, terminal font settings).
- Balance the order of examples so Linux/macOS are not always presented after Windows.
- Expand troubleshooting guidance for Linux/macOS clients (e.g., font issues, locale settings, encoding errors).
