In private mail I have discussed with a person the default charset
to use for source code and in particular Kconfig files in the kernel.
I recall to have seen some mails about UTF-8 but I would like to have
confirmed what is the 'nofficial?' recommended charset for kernel code?

Everything that gets compiled into the kernel image (including printk()'s
but excluding comments) 7bit ASCII, the rest UTF-8.
For Kconfig files UTF-8 should be the right choice (assuming all
*config tools support it).

Thanks - this also matches my understanding.
