My browser just nicely botched replying on those, but looking at Ian's
post, the first and last lines looked like "test" written in Japanese,
the first line in katakana and the last line in hiragana.

The following should end up posted as shift-JIS, but

テスト
and
てすと

should collate the same under some contexts, since it's more-or-less
equivalent to a variation in case.
