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
