For fun I looked up the earliest uses I could find on Google Groups:
- mojibake: 9 Sep 1991 [1]
- 文字化け: 7 Jan 1992 [2]
- もじばけ: 20 Apr 1995 [3], [4], [5]
- モジバケ: 4 Jul 1996 [6]
- mojibaki: 11 Nov 2002 [7]
^ That is useful for the citations page of this entry. --User123o987name (talk) 08:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
The English pronunciation
[edit]It must be following closely the original, something like /modʒiˈbɑke(ɪ)/ or /modʒiˈbæke(ɪ)/? --Anatoli (обсудить) 05:45, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don’t think English-speaking programmers follow the Japanese pronunciation, as this term is rather internationalized. See w:Talk:Mojibake. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 09:30, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- OK but note that people are aware of the word being Japanese nonetheless, so they don't usually say mowjy-beyk or something. There are few variants depending on the education, region, etc. I'm OK what your edit. Thanks. --Anatoli (обсудить) 11:51, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Mojibake dictionary
[edit]Why is there no dictionary of mojibake characters? Google exact text search for "Dictionary of mojibake" has not results currently. Entries could look like this:
ö | ö | UTF-8→ISO 8859-1 | Ã¥ | å | UTF-8→ISO 8859-1 | |||||
— | — | [charset]→[charset] | ||||||||
Γäù | © | [charset]→[charset] | ||||||||
Á&ç | あ | [charset]→[charset] | ||||||||
(I think "Γäù" is "©".) If such a dictionary or enumeration ever comes into existence it should be linked at the bottom of this entry. --User123o987name (talk) 08:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
