Henriëtte Klijnstra: banks use spaces as Mojibake replacements.

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/06/09

Henriëtte Klijnstra got a new bank card in the name of “HENRI TTE KLIJNSTRA”, a Mojibake so bad that [Wayback/Archive] ftfy – fix unicode that’s broken in various ways cannot fix it.

[Wayback/Archive] Henriëtte Klijnstra on Twitter: “Ik moet dit nog checken bij founder @JornReuvers, maar misschien is dit toch wel het topstuk tot nu toe in de geschiedenis van #givetremasachance Congrats voor @Openbank en @bancosantander voor dit kunststukje op m’n nieuwe pinpas”.
