Sorry, I don't understand what you said. Could you explain a little more?
What I meant by encoding was 'encoding scheme', such as iso8859-1,
eucjp, gb2312, etc. In that sense, for a computational purpose,
it doesn't matter what script is used. Hebrew is 8859-8 and Arabic is
8859-6, so we can process the content correctly if we knew those
encodings.
