    At the same time, I also translated all the error messages from Spanish to English, because my source code files still were using a Windows codepage, and clang kept complaining of illegal character encodings.

    POV: Your toolchain was written by a bunch of Americans who don’t know a lick of Spanish, and their skin tone is the same as a sheet of A4 printer paper.

    Same issue with Ghidra. It looked at all the Spanish strings inside the RAM dump of the LG Voyager and went “Ah. Those aren’t strings of text, those are mystery bytes!”

    I know there’s no true universal method of representing characters with accents in 8 bits but just EUUUUGH!
