13.2. Languages used

Most posters to the newsgroup use English, but this is not compulsory. Nowadays more and more people are posting in Japanese codes. Roomaji (romanized Japanese) is acceptable, but if you want to post Japanese codes, to reach the maximum audience, it is recommended to use the iso-2022-jp (escape code) form, not shift-JIS, EUC or UTF-8. See 11.3. Computing resources for more about the different kinds of computer encoding.
