`man gnome-terminal`
`NAME`
` gnome-terminal - A terminal emulator for GNOME`

So apparently *someone* thinks it's a terminal emulator.

Yes.

A version of gnome-terminal is in the future produced that issues a warning every time a profile is used that uses an encoding that is intended for future removal and specifying in that warning some kind of time / version for when that removal will occur. That would be ideal.

because otherwise my need for ISO-8859-1 in no way prevents someone else using Unicode.
The actual problem is UTF-8 though, not Unicode (since Unicode includes the entirety of ISO-8859-1 as its first 256 code points). I understand that that does not present an obvious or easy solution.
