Steps to reproduce:
I am aware that this repro looks quite personal

  1. Go to Seoul National University's Course Registration System, Korean.
    SNU CRS
  2. Download the second file: ~~ (Fall Semester 2022 Guidelines for Course Change and Withdrawal).pdf

This would not do any harm!! snu.ac.kr is the official domain for Seoul National University, South Korea.

Expected behavior:
The file with Safari or Orion will be downloaded with Korean characters broken.
However, Chromium and Firefox browsers are able to download this without any problem.

Indeed, almost all websites work well on Safari with non-ASCII characters. However, some of them do not.
Although I could not verify for other languages, similar issues may occur.

Also, I found someone saying, "Safari applies much stricter standards for web developers than others. Hence, not declaring the specific encoding/format sometimes leads to errors in Safari, but they do not in Chrome."

As I believe, since Orion is somehow providing a broad user experience with Chrome and Firefox extensions, Safari and Apple's strict policies may be slightly disregarded.

Thanks in advance for all kinds of responses.
Regards.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Version 0.99.120.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.20)
MacBook Pro (macOS Monterey 12.6 build 21G115)

    Vlad Yes, I'm aware that this is a WebKit issue. However, it would be nice if Orion supports the advanced settings - encoding which is present in Safari (although it doesn't work well nowadays).

        Vlad I agree with junukwon7. I'm also Korean user who uses Orion. And I hope it would be nice if Orion supports an option to select encoding manually like Safari. (It can be another issue.)

              Vlad Yes. Some Korean web pages uses CP-949. If homesite provides its encoding in html header or http headers, it doens't broken. But modern browser and many application uses UTF-8. So we need manual encoding options for some bad websites.

                  Here's the settings for site-specific option or global-wide option.

                    HazeLee This does not appear to be a site specific setting but simply a temporary override. On next page reload it changes back to default?

                        Firefox allows users to set a stack of languages for websites to pick from. Personally I sometimes browse the chinese wikipedia and without a zh-hk/ zh-tw tag in the stack it defaults to simplified chinese and i have to change it manually every time.

                          novajuice changed the title to Allow setting web page language stack .

                            Anyone knows what is happening under the hood here?

                              Vlad I think Accept-Language's weight value can be changed with this settings option. (HTTP Header)

                                  AFAIK Safari has a global setting for encoding.

                                  We are still looking for what exactly the ask is and how should it be implemented in Orion.

                                    Merged 5 posts from Allow setting web page language stack.

                                      I think the ask is to add "Text encoding" to Website settings (copy options from SafarI) and also add it to website setting poup below user agent.
