<p>Hi,</p>
<p>OGC GeoTIFF mostly formalizes the historical GeoTIFF 1.0
specification from 1995, and UTF-8 at that time was still in its
youth years. Not to be mentioned that GeoTIFF was initially
developed by NASA' JPL, so I assume ASCII was good enough at that
time for their purpose. As far as I can see all EPSG CRS names as
currently only use ASCII. It is true though that WKT CRS
potentially allows for more than ASCII for CRS name, but only in
the Latin1 character set.<br>

<p>Anyway this would be more a topic for an issue at

note to the existing

<div>I had to read a bit deeper the Geo TIFF 1.1 standard and I
was quite surprised to see that in doesn't allow any character
representation outside the 7-bit ASCII text. Am I missing
something?<br>

</div>
<div>In particular CitationGeoKeys that are mandatory in certain
cases do not allow for anything other than ASCII text. Seems a
bit strange for an international standard.<br>
