Latin-1 / ISO-8859-1 defines a character for every byte, so any byte string will decode. It only defines 256 characters as having equivalent bytes, though, so encoding can fail.
unless it was decoded as latin-1 in the first place. doesn't the surrogate escape thing only work properly if you decode/encode with the same encoding?
