From 24a2207e0a044c39f4464e2651399a078d76bd17 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yashwant Bezawada Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2025 17:18:52 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] lib: correct windows-1252 decoding in TextDecoder MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The TextDecoder was incorrectly using the Latin-1 fast path for windows-1252 encoding, which caused incorrect decoding of bytes in the 0x80-0x9F range. The issue occurs because windows-1252 differs from ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) in this byte range. The simdutf library's convert_latin1_to_utf8 function directly maps bytes to Unicode codepoints (e.g., 0x92 → U+0092), which is correct for ISO-8859-1 but incorrect for windows-1252, where 0x92 should map to U+2019 (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK '). This fix disables the Latin-1 fast path for windows-1252, forcing the decoder to use the ICU converter which correctly handles the windows-1252 specific character mappings according to the WHATWG Encoding Standard. The fix includes comprehensive tests for all 32 affected characters (bytes 0x80-0x9F) to prevent regression.

Since windows-1252 cannot use the Latin-1 fast path (it requires different character mappings via ICU), and no other encoding uses it, the entire Latin-1 fast path mechanism has been removed. This simplifies the code while fixing the windows-1252 decoding issue. Windows-1252 now correctly uses the ICU decoder for all characters.
