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)Reply

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)Reply

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)Reply
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)Reply

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:

ööUTF-8→ISO 8859-1Ã¥åUTF-8→ISO 8859-1
—[charset]→[charset]
Γäù©[charset]→[charset]
Á&ç[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)Reply
