I18n Issues

Encoding needs to always be explicit. Resolution: Use UTF-8 or some variant of Unicode.

Generally one needs to pass in locale, encoding or language to ensure that any culture-dependent conversion is done properly. If you determine that the call is i18n-safe, you can use Globalyzer's Ignore Comment functionality to ensure that it isn't picked up in a subsequent scan.
