Only UTF-8 encoding is supported natively by browsers. For other (most used) encodings, custom encoders are implemented in JavaScript. Because of this, HTML filtering will work only on pages with character encoding compatible with: UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, Windows-1250, Windows-1251 and Windows-1252 ([detailed maping](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/2a91a685ce3d2dae5d3c285cff1bc74a1982be74/src/js/text-encode.js#L32))
