Subject: [gentoo-user] Acceptable character encodings for files in /etc/portage?

1 Glep 31 states that text files in the portage tree should use UTF-8
2 encoding. I see nothing indicating any standard encoding for files in the
3 /etc/portage directory. Since everything I have seen in portage's python
4 source-code seems to imply Unicode as valid but I can see nothing specific
5 to UTF-8, I thought I'd ask. Is there any official Gentoo standard
6 documentation that defines the acceptable set of character encodings for
7 files in /etc/portage?
