Ahh, it’s not an issue about SQLite but about whether the right libraries are bundled by Godot. Got it, that explains it.

I’m confused about your SQLite troubles … it compiles for pretty much everything - as long as you have a file system mapping.

Yes, which is why we’ve broadly accepted that ASCII isn’t sufficient any more.

After all… Why not?

Why shouldn’t I ignore the 100+ cultures whose character set couldn’t fit into this encoding?

And you don’t think this happens in China?

How much have you travelled, lived and worked in China? How far outside the tier 1 cities have you gotten?

If you think every criticism of China is just liberal talking points, I assume the answers to those questions are all “not very much”.
